Welcome
Craft Beautiful Objects with spectacular wood
An oasis of calm in a sea of distraction
Our Mission
We teach real world skills using commonly available and inexpensive tools. Our style of woodworking harkens back to the days of pioneers using human scale tools powered by ...humans.
The objects on the left were made by youth students, some as young as nine. Even our woodworking finishes are handmade of beeswax and mineral oil and are completely kid safe.
Sustainable Practices
We use vintage tools, some as old as Benjamin Franklin although most are from the early 1900s. We even make some of our own tools!
Much of the wood we use is either repurposed, salvaged or the most fun, wood we have actually harvested from local urban trees. We have avocado, grapefruit, sycamore, apple, camphor, elm, walnut, cork oak, and more that we harvest after windstorms or that is donated to us.
