About this season
Wood is wonderful. Natural, versatile, sustainable and in skilled hands, it can be transformed into anything you want it to be. Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker is back to celebrate the beauty of wood and the talented woodworkers who craft it. Mel Giedroyc returns and is joined by ten of the UK’s top woodworking enthusiasts who will battle it out for the coveted prize of being named Britain’s Best Woodworker. The woodworkers will fight hammer and nail, building wonderful works of wood in just two days that combine epic scale with fine craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. They’ll also face a range of surprise challenges that test their core skills. But they'll have to impress the judges, entrepreneur and woodworking expert Sophie Sellu and design academic Tom Dyckhoff, to remain in the competition.
