Green Woodwork Ireland displays the showcase of a traditional woodland workshop in action. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the skills of the craftsman producing his wares with the use of the shave horse and pole lathe. Children’s toys, spoons, bowls and furniture are all produced using traditional techniques dating back hundreds of years. People of all ages are captivated by the rhythm of pole lathe and a craft that has long since disappeared from our woodlands and workshops. Adults and children alike can enjoy the work of the craftsman as he talks about the skills and history of this forgotten world.
