A visit to our instructor's property at Derryduff Mor near Bantry. Graham has had the 4 acre plot for over 7 years.
Here is his cordwood roundhouse with attached greenhouse. Our meeting place for the days activities.
An overall view of the property that lies above the flood plain of the Coomhola River. The red-roofed house in the background is Graham's home.

We didn't get to see this is action but it is a wood bending system. You would stick a pole into the pipe and add water then light the fire to steam the pole. Then remove it and start turning it around the wheel to shape it.
