Well, I think that’s how they say it in eastern Mass. anyway. Just in case you may not be aware, there’s a pretty unique riving and hurdlemaking opportunity coming up with Plymouth CRAFT; a chance to spend a weekend working with at least a couple of those guys in the fold above. You may not have any sheep to corral, but the deceptively simple skills involved in making these riven oak hurdles will transfer to the making of all sorts of things. Plus, I can think of many practical uses for these around a yard or in a garden. Sure to be a good time as well.
Check out Rick’s poetic post to learn more. (And thanks for the use of the photo, Rick and Marie).

Hi Dave!
I have just been catching up with your blog here and noticed this post for the hurdle making class. It was a great couple of days from what I understand. Here is my post on supplying the logs. https://hiscarpentryblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/15/give-me-sass/
Would love to have you back to MA for a CRAFT class. I missed out on it the last time.

Hey Nathan! Thanks for the link; I enjoyed reading your post. Sassafras was a great find for the hurdle class and it looks like the class was a big hit again. Looking forward to catching up with you in June!
