The woodworking school that focuses on traditional craftsmanship with hand tools. Started in 1978 by Drew Langsner. In many Country Workshops woodworking classes, instruction begins by splitting a freshly felled hardwood log, a traditional method sometimes called “green woodworking.” Air-dried, milled lumber is also used when appropriate. Project work is often done with a drawknife and spokeshave while seated at a shaving horse. We also teach the skills of wood turning, wood bending, carving and hewing with axes and adzes.

The woodworking tools and techniques I use are many centuries old. All the items I make bear the marks of my hand tools. The quiet of my shop is reminicent of a pre-industrial country woodshop. Like 18th century woodworkers I use safe, non-toxic finishes that protect your health, my health and the health of our planet.
