Class Description:
This will be a hand tool only class. During this class we will learn one of the most basic and essential skills in traditional woodworking: how to square, flatten and dimension rough lumber into finished boards. We will start the class by making a set of winding sticks. We will then use those sticks along with a variety of tools to prepare a piece of wood into usable stock. The material to make the winding sticks will be provided, but the material you are going to prepare into finished stock must be brought to the class (see required materials). There is a tool list for the class and you are encouraged to bring your own tools. However, if you don’t have a particular tool, please let me know well before the class date as I may have extras that can be made available.
