Green Wood Crafts
Interesting or valuable wood is put aside for green wood crafts. These include large rustic style gates and hurdles to smaller products hand turned on our pole lathes. We run courses twice a year and we make items from CAT’s own and local sustainably grown wood. See our Woodland courses section for details about all CAT courses.
The products below are only available from the CAT Visitor Centre shop.
