“Shaun and Luke have so much knowledge and go to great lengths to share it. I not only learnt all of the techniques for restoring my chair, but also the techniques every one in the class used.
It's rare to find a teacher who can support nine students all working on totally different restoration pieces, and do it so well.
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend workshop and will be back to learn more.
Thankyou both for an amazing weekend.

“I’ve learnt so much and I enjoyed every minute of the two days. The science behind the growth of trees and why/how we should treat a piece of furniture was so important to the course and amazing to learn. Shane explained why and what repairs and glues in each of our pieces. Shane was so informative and his explanations made it so easy to understand. Having Luke to help all of us through the two days made us all feel like we all had help and a second person to ask questions. Was a great course. Can’t wait to do another in the future.”
“This was my third class. I was thought the format was great. I got to repair a very nostalgic piece my grandad made. So interesting to learn about the way approach to everyone’s different projects. Shane was an excellent and very knowledgeable teacher who gave us lots of information about timber, dealing with paint and restoring surfaces. He and Luke couldn’t have been more helpful with so many practical skills. Really love the vibe of Among the trees. Thanks so much Shane and Luke.”
“I really loved the class and being taught by Shane and Luke. It is a great introductory course to learn a few new skills to get you started, and know if you want to properly start on the journey. It's clear this is a life long journey but everyone can pick up some of the basic skills. The people on the course were great to meet as well.”
“This class was great! Shane and Luke are super knowledgeable and passionate about woodworking and furniture restoration. I went in with zero experience and have learnt so much in the two days.”
“If you want to learn about how to attempt a restoration project on a piece of furniture over a weekend? Don’t hesitate to join this class. I had a great time learning and participating in a small group setting. My teacher was Shane and he has so much to teach and share with you. He’s also very patient.
Among the trees is a welcoming place where if you love wood, like I do, you will be in your element surrounded by wood and tools.”
