Bucklers Hard.

Included for the sake of completeness is an image of my efforts at traditional 18th century woodworking techniques, undertaken during a field trip to Bucklers Hard. I learned about the use of felling axes, the broadaxe, and various adzes. It was incredibly hard physically and I found this enjoyable in a perverse way, but also I discovered a really useful introduction to alternative ways of working wood. Working this great big Douglas fir log took me three days, just to achieve one flat face!
