Welcome to the OSNW blog. Our repository of tree based resources. Articles, interviews, video and audio. If it’s interesting, exciting, fun, thought provoking or connected with trees and wood, nationally and internationally, we’ll share it with you here.
Can you teach by telling, or by doing, or both?
Here are some examples we thought you might enjoy -finger knitting, cordage making, making a saw horse and making a super simple shave horse.
