Wood Furniture II Workshop

With a few traditional tools and an abundance of skills, yesterday’s craftsman built today’s heirlooms. There is a certain nostalgia and charm when hand crafting a furniture project. It speaks of a time when craftsmen had few tools but an abundance of skills. Furniture II emphasizes traditional hand tool techniques and provides a wood crafting experience that makes one more confident with hand tools, something indispensable in day-to-day woodworking. This workshop offers an opportunity to continue developing wood-crafting skills, the use of traditional tools and camaraderie with other interested craftsmen.
