Learn how to build a pair of our best-selling bird boxes and/or medium planter boxes in a special 3-hour woodworking session! Firstly, you’ll be given a whistlestop tour of our South Street premises, being taken through the journey our reclaimed timber goes through, from sorting and ‘stickering’ to preparing for resale and reuse.
Then, one of our woodworkers will guide you both through the process of building your choice of bird boxes and/or planters. From start to finish, they’ll demonstrate every step which goes into transforming a pile of reclaimed wood and sheet materials into finished products. At the end, you’ll take your wildlife building pieces away with you.
You’ll then finish your items with a clear finish of Loxkin, which will help to prolong the life of your pieces. Made of hemp oil it’s completely natural, so perfect for looking after plants and wildlife.
This session is designed for 1 parent and 1 child to attend. It’s a great introduction to learn more about reusing wood and getting hands on in building some of our simplest products.
The session begins at 12:00pm and will finish at approximately 2pm.
In order to reserve your place on this session, in the order notes you’ll need to tell us:
Whether you’d like to build:
- x2 bird boxes
- x2 planter boxes (medium – 600 x 300 x 215mm)
