Woodland Craft Handbook by Ben Law

View YouTube trailer here

Our woodlands are a rich and plentiful resource which, when managed sustainably, can provide fuel to keep warm, the timber to build our homes and the items that furnish them.

Step into the shoes of woodsman Ben Law as he explores this diverse collection of crafts made from materials sourced directly from the woods.

Brooms, rakes, pegs, spoons, chairs, baskets, fencing and walking sticks – the items are one-off and unique – hewn and shaped by hand, infused with a simple, rustic beauty.
