Lovely rippled chestnut on a cold wet day. As the sleety rain comes down I’m happy to be in the workshop working on a set of five gates. #gate #gatemaker #cleftchestnut #gates #gates_of_insta #ruralskills

Hedge laying course today at Holne Playpark on Dartmoor. Over 20 of us there, and the weather, well, we were lucky to say the least as it was tipping down and freezing cold when we started but we managed to stay relatively dry.

Congratulations to six Devon Rural Skills Trust members who today passed their proficiency tests: Justin Clifford and Chris Bale - Initial. Garry Moore and Nick Syrett - Intermediate. And Magnus McKay and Chris Stanton - Master Craftsman. 75 yards of Devon Hedge laid on my land at Velwell Orchard. I’m very pleased with the results, thanks and very well done folks. Shame I didn’t get better pics, was a bit too busy! #hedgelaying #hedgesteeping #hedge #devonhedge #devonruralskillstrust #ruralskills #countrycrafts

Field maple lights up my way home at dusk. I love autumn, time of hedge laying and gate making, leaf-rustling walks, roast chestnuts and warm fires.

Slightly better choice of work today. I’ve been making chestnut fence pickets in the workshop. #cleftchestnut #ruralskills #chestnut #cleaving #handmade

Dry stone walling is not very glamorous. And it’s not very dry either. Might have been better off making gates today. #mud #wetstonewalling
