@nourish.hq Ad. Capturing spring in the making, with @ffern.co There’s a moment of impossible freshness to spring. A symphony of green, heralded by birds and bleats. Sap rises, buds unfurl, and the soft light lengthens. The land is stirring itself awake. Here in the Dales, new life abounds, and I have found myself with three little shadows who needed a little extra mothering. Working with ash coppiced from the woodland, I made some traditional gate hurdles to give them a room of their own. There are few things more joyful than working slowly with hand tools in the recently returned light. The scent of fresh wood shavings, hedgerow blackthorn, and slowly warming earth filling the air. @ffern.co ‘s Spring fragrance feels like this moment exactly. Green, bright, and full of humming cheer. A distillation of birdsong, wildness, and the heady abandon of the season. #springworkshop #ffernspring26 #gatehurdle #bottlelambs

Overview

The creator demonstrates the traditional process of making a wooden gate hurdle from scratch using hand tools in a woodland setting. Throughout the video, she splits, shaves, and drills the wood while accompanied by baby lambs, ultimately assembling the pieces and installing the finished gate in a stone wall to evoke the feeling of spring for a fragrance advertisement.
