This 3-session class is a must for those interested in achieving a strong joint that resists being pulled apart.  Dovetail joinery is typically used for furniture, cabinets, drawers and a wide range of other woodworking projects because it creates a strong, tight fit between pieces of wood.  In these classes, you will first practice making pins and tails and then move on to cutting the dovetails for your toolbox.  

This class is appropriate for any level.  Bench time beyond the 20 hours of class is offered free of charge--especially helpful for beginners.  

Class is January 21, January 28 and February 4, 2025, from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm

Ken Wise brings his deep knowledge of wood and carving to this workshop that explores how to choose wood and shape it into a fully functional canoe paddle.  Students will learn carving techniques appropriate for larger projects and how to finish the paddle for longevity.  Class includes all materials, and is appropriate for the beginning carver as well as those with more experience.
