The scythe is a wonderfully efficient tool for the farmer, homesteader, and homeowner alike. It can be used for mowing hay, harvesting grains, maintaining hard-to-cut areas around trees and fences, or even mowing the lawn. Come learn about getting the right scythe blade for your situation, proper snath (handle) fit, sharpening, and mowing technique. Bring your scythe if you have one. There will be some loaners available for the class. Note: this class will not cover "American-style" scythes.
