MARC-CARPENTER

Marc Biddle, Deer Wood In-House Tutor

Marc’s passion for working with wood goes back to when, as a young boy, he had access to all his Dad’s carpentry project off-cuts, left in the garage at his family home. From the age of 10 he was gently encouraged and guided by his stepfather in the use of all the hand tools. That was 45 years ago, and he has never looked back.
