The perfect gift for someone who has previous woodworking experience or completed the intro to woodworking course. Maybe you want to learn how to prepare your own wood correctly, or level up your skillset- this course is for you.

You will make a solid oak serving board with an inlayed bow tie to bring home!

Here is a brief summary of what we will cover:

• Softwood vs Hardwood, selection and grain basics

• Preparing all 4 sides of a workpiece correctly

• Machine safety and use (Planer/thicknesser/Table saw/band saw/Router)

• Profiling/shaping wood

• Cutting and inlaying a “bow tie” (Power and hand tools)

• Sanding correctly

• Food safe finish

As mentioned, in this more intermediate course we will be be using larger woodworking machinery and doing detailed hand work, so previous experience is necessary.

Course is approximately 2-2.5 hours, and we will get a coffee before we start!

Review

“I recently completed the Intro to woodworking course with Justin Wood. Couldn’t recommend this workshop enough for those who are completely new to woodworking or would like to refresh their skillset in a safe and encouraging environment. The workshop balanced learning between guided and independent sections before ultimately putting these into practice to create a functional outcome. Mark’s passion is infectious, his knowledge is second to none and he delivers this in a professional yet down to earth manner. I left the workshop with newfound confidence in my abilities and the desire to further explore working in wood.”
