Woodworking Projects You’ll Love
Self-Turned Bowls
If you are looking for a small woodworking class, our Introduction To The Lathe: Bowl Turning class offers just that. There is a two-person max enrollment for this lesson, which means that you’ll have plenty of one-on-one attention from master craftsman Glen Guarino. Once you learn the basics of operating a lathe, you’ll learn how to select the right type of wood and keep your tools sharp in order to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind bowl. Give it as a gift or keep it for yourself — the choice is yours!

In our Milling Lumber: Cutting Board class, you’ll have the opportunity to build your very own beautiful, solid-wood cutting board that offers the right balance of form and function in your kitchen.

Keepsake Boxes
Are you the sentimental type who likes to hold onto things like concert ticket stubs, love notes, or other trinkets that help you reflect on some of your most cherished times? If so, then enrolling in woodworking classes in which you make your very own keepsake box is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. In our Engraved Keepsake Box class, you’ll start with a solid piece of hardwood and learn all of the milling, joining, and engraving techniques necessary to create this incredible one-of-a-kind piece that you’ll treasure for years to come.
Wood Furniture
There is nothing more classic and versatile than hand-crafted wood furniture. If you have just moved into your first place or you are redecorating, wouldn’t it be awesome to have a piece that you created yourself? We offer a couple of different furniture making classes in which you can make something as simple as a cross-leg side table or as complex as a live-edge side table with bowties and colored epoxy. Either way, your custom piece of wood furniture is sure to be a conversation starter!
