The shave horse is a simple foot operated device, that allows you to clamp wood whilst having both hands free to use a draw knife.It has been used in carpentry since the roman times, but since modern machinery it has been almost forgotten.
Thankfully people are beginning to realise the benefits that old crafts, like wood carving can bring to your mental and physical heath.
The mindful aspect of getting lost in carving can take you away from the stress and problems of modern life. It is also really good exercise particularly for the upper body,
It has proven to be very helpful with depression, anxiety, PTSD and many other mental heath conditions.
It is also great for getting children and adults off their phones.
