During this two-day course, led by award-winning boat builder Colin Henwood, you will learn how to shape a single canoe paddle from home-grown Ash using a variety of razor-sharp hand tools.
Make your own canoe paddle at the Sylva Wood Centre, working with ash – Britain's superior native hardwood.
Using traditional skills and tools you will produce a complex shape with hand and eye. Learn how to finish your smooth and elegant design.
Take home a unique and useable canoe paddle ready for a varnish or an oil finish.
Tools and materials included.
The course will be held in our purpose-built Teaching Barn.
