From A Student...

I took intro to woodworking my sophomore year, I went in having very basic knowledge surrounding it. It was such an amazing course and perfect for beginners and also people who have prior experience! I had such a blast in woodworking, and I took what I learned from the course and have now built a full time business at home building cutting boards, coasters, tables, and much more! -Class of 2026
