Oxfordshire Woodland Group

Very sophisicated items of household furniture, tools and treen can be made from green (unseasoned) wood and so it is important to afford craftspeople the opportunity to aquire select timber arisings from woodland operations so that wooden gems might be created for everyday use and also for passing on to posterity.

The Chiltern Hills is home to the craft of Bodging and to the follow on making of Windsor chairs which come in a variety of designs. Typical timber employed is yew, cherry, ash, beech and elm.
