Hurdles-
Just 10 riven parts
Come out of oak trees
And a few pins besides
Worked by hand

With wedges and froes
Hatchets and drawknives

While the wood is green and forgiving
And all joined together
Satisfyingly

To fold away your sheep
Or that cilantro
That you keep
Perhaps your look
Before it leaps-
Come learn from
The bearded man named Follansbee
Who wants you experience
The joy of making useful things
From the tree itself
It’s a lesson in wood grain
And efficient use of edge tools
Taught in the woods between 2 ponds
Where the fire will warm you
As you carve by the light of it
Nourished by real food

And friendly company
Hurdles to keep
Your interest in green-woodworking

Grazed and well-ordered
BLUE OAK 
Looks like a fun weekend!
