A little treasure that Susan Wraight brought in during her course at the Guild in 2021. I am not sure if she made it or squired it. So beautiful.

Geoff and Andrew oiling their completed ‘Shaker Inspired Footstools’ in American Cherry. Neither of them had ever done woodworking before and were complete beginners. Both showed an exemplary aptitude for woodworking and in particular hand cut dovetails. Congratulations Geoff and Andrew. You can also do this project in an “Open Class” environment. Contact us anytime to enquire.

We are so grateful. 🙏🙏🙏
