Each base is hand-sculpted freehand, without the use of a lathe or automation, ensuring that no two tables are alike.

You'll learn the fundamental of wood science, basic joinery methods and the importance of accuracy in construction. The class will also cover essential tool safety, tool anatomy, and basic calibration techniques. You'll gain hands-on experience with a variety of tools, including the planer, jointer, table saw, band saw, and drum sander as your craft your own custom end table. . The class spans two consecutive days, and all materials are included in the cost. Please ensure your attire is woodworking appropriate; no jewelry, no sweatshirts with strings, and closed-toed shoes are required. Long hair must be tied back. Teens and adults are welcome to join.
