Experts will demonstrate an ancient woodcarving method at Cogges Manor Farm Museum during a special weekend there dedicated to woodcraft. Members of the Oxfordshire Woodturning Club will show off their skills at the Oxfordshire County Council-run Victorian life museum on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14.
Visitors will be able to see hurdles being made by David Rees of the Woodland Project and learn more about woodturning from club members.
Interesting and informative - Francesca Jones, Oxfordshire County Council's Manager for Cogges Manor Farm Museum , said: "We are fortunate to have members of the Oxfordshire Woodturning Club coming to Cogges Manor Farm Museum . Their visit should be an interesting and informative experience for people who want to discover more about woodturning."
Woodturning differs from most other forms of woodworking as the wood is moving while a stationary tool is used to cut and mould it. Woodturning dates back around 3,300 years when the Egyptians first developed a two-person lathe. A pedal replaced hand-operated turning in the Middle Ages and lathes were motorised during the industrial revolution.
