Repairing not replacing

We’ve been using the new shave horse Martin the WWOOFer made us to fashion replacement handles for worn out tools…

We try to use hand tools wherever and whenever practical, and some or ours are looking a bit run down. So Ian has been putting some of the ash we’ve been pollarding to good use. It’s a satisfying job, as Ian’s face clearly shows, and makes us think that summer will soon be here – when we’ll be putting sickles and scythes to good use again.
