Carving workshop

Today was spent running a woodcarving workshop for the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV). The people attending were all young people who are carers, looking after someone (e.g. a family member) who needs help in their day-to-day life.
We carved signs from oak which will be put in the BTCV's Tree life centre in Kingswood, Bristol. The signs identify the different types of tree which are grown in the tree nursery there. The trees are sold to fund the charity's work.
Everyone produced some really good signs and it was a pleasure to work with them all.
