Want to whittle? You can learn how from Alan Stanley on Saturday 29th, at 2pm. The project will be to make a spoon.

Everything will be provided: a piece of wood, a few extra knives and safety gloves. If you want to get serious about whittling you can purchase gloves and knife sets at the event.

To register, please email macphailhomestead@gmail.com or call 902 651-2789.
No registration cost, only the cost of the equipment if you wish to purchase some.
