Hiya This would be a change of career for me, I am currently a photographer and have been for 30+ years. I am 54, my tree/outdoor experience comes from bushcrafting and greenwood working. Fitness used be very good but a heart attack in 2004 has slowed me down a tad, although I still canoe :-) I suspect that I have probably left it too late....

Hi All Can anyone suggest careers/jobs working with trees for the more mature, therefore less fit and strong?

Well, you could go for the cheap frosts Cutting Tools > Woodcarving Knives - Greenman Bushcraft But you will soon get fed up with them and lust after some of the brilliant Ben Orford knives Handmade Carving Tools I brought some Frost/Mora spoon knives and very quickly gave them away after trying one of Bens blades

I have just been splitting chesnut for legs, wonderful wood splits right down the centre. I will axe or draw knife them down a bit and wait for them to dry before fitting them into a slab of oak. ie http://carvedfromwood.blogspot.com/2011/05/green-wood-furniture.html

Hiya I will look that one up, the spoon is made of Sumach/Rhus.

Hiya Tools used were and axe, bushcraft knife (that I made) and a spoon knife. I will be using the new adze on a couple of bowls that I am starting this weekend. Mark

A very kind man recently gave me a lump of wood which he has described as "spectacular and outrageous wood" Here is what I did with it, another spoon... and he is correct. I must photograph it with different lighting, that was my usual setup but the depth of the bowl does not show, could be the patterning. Mark

Hiya It is about the same weight forze a silver birch

Hiya Ta Just a thought, did you want a customer testimonial for the work that you did on my Oak?
