The management of Birtley Woodland generates timber which is mostly used to heat Birtley House. Excess timber however, leaves enough for Mervyn, our skilled carpenter to create some stunning pieces of handmade furniture.

Mervyn is highly experienced in his field and runs specialist Woodworking courses for those interested in experiencing traditional and historic Woodworking principles. With guidance and Mervyn’s professional know how, you can fashion your very own items large and small, inspired by the beautiful woodland location. No previous experience necessary.
