Woodwright's Apprentice

This workshop, great for a parent (or grandparent) and child, begins with learning to identify the trees commonly used by woodwrights; discusses how those trees were turned into lumber; examines the properties of different species of wood and the safe use of some basic hand tools. The workshop concludes with each team assembling and finishing a stool (which they get to take home) using no glue or metal fasteners!

Instructor Dick Bennett was draw to Canterbury Shaker Village in 2004 by his lifelong interest in woodworking. He has served as a Museum interpreter, Shaker craft demonstrator, and workshop leader.
