I was asked to lead a team building activity last week at the Boston branch of Metsa Wood, and good fun it was too; it differed vastly from the usual workshops I run, which are over three days and the participants work on a large log: this one was over one afternoon and each participant worked on a small (roughly 8″ square) piece of pine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of the session was for each individual to work on their own piece which ultimately formed part of a larger carving when all fitted together; the design had to be relatively simple, so what better than the words “Metsa Wood” and the company logo in the centre?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had liaised with the company prior to the session and they produced some lovely bench-hooks built on site, which kept the work-pieces steady and safe; the timber to be carved was also from Metsa ~ it would’ve been silly not to use it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
