  • Wood carving workshop reveals hidden talents

    Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust Woodland Group held a very successful wood carving workshop at Upper Reelig Community Wood on the 23rd and 24th of February. Led by trainer Henry Fosbrooke members of the community learnt techniques to carve wood and made some fabulous carvings over the weekend. The workshop was funded by the Forestry Commission Seedcorn Fund.

    It is hoped that the skills learnt will enable the group to create a wood carving for the newly refurbished Kirkhill Community Centre

    Check out the fantastic carvings.
