Spoon carving and old friends

I am always in awe of how the internet makes the world such a small place, and was chuffed to bits to find an old acquaintance; whom I've not heard from for a while whilst looking for inspiration for carving some Christmas gifts.

 

Steve Tomlin is a greenwood worker, Craftsman and all round good guy who I met on the wood fair circuit in the early days of WildPath bushcraft. Setting up a bushcraft school in North Devon I had started out feeling quite isolated, but soon found a few like minded souls all within a 20 mile radius. Steve was living and working at a sawmill teaching spoon and bowl carving at weekends.

 

After he moved away to build a log cabin in the North we lost touch but finding his new website Steve Tomlin Crafts  I see he continues to inspire others and live the life of a true woodsman.

 

We had tried to set up a spoon carving and bushcraft weekend that never came to fruition, watch this space though as there is a renewed interest in courses so things maybe afoot in 2012
