Woods I (Half year)

Students discover and develop talents and skills in woodworking while building useful individual projects. Students are given individualized and group instruction in the proper, safe, and skillful use of both hand and machine tools. Students design, plan, construct, and finish projects made of wood. This course is recommended for students interested in developing introductory woodworking skills.

Woods II (Full year)

Students increase their knowledge of woodworking techniques, enabling them to become more skilled woodworkers. Woods II offers a more in-depth study of the woodworking tools, machines and processes introduced in Woods I. Projects of a more challenging nature will be undertaken on an individual basis. This course is recommended for students wishing to further develop their woodworking skills.

Woods Independent Study (Half or Full year)

This course provides an opportunity for woodworking students to advance their skills or study areas of special interest as they design and construct individual projects. Students at this level work independently during a Woods I or Woods II class where they will be able to consult with the instructor of that class. Projects of a more demanding nature will be explored at this time. This course is recommended for students seeking to further enhance their woodworking skills.
