For 30 years, our craftsmen have been teaching fine, hand-tool woodworking and furniture-making skills at our woodworking school. Our instructors are not only masters of their craft, but also believe in the philosophy of excellence, discipline, and the satisfaction of building with integrity. Many people, novices to masters have benefited from our classes.
