Let's be honest... dads are hard to shop for.
Skip the last-minute gift card this year and get him something he'll actually use.
Tomorrow at the Columbia Farmers Market , we'll have a great selection of handcrafted gifts, including: • Handled coffee mugs with custom wooden handles • Wooden coffee scoops • Pizza peels • Pizza cutters • Golf club wooden pens • Book holders • And plenty of other handcrafted woodworking gifts.
Every piece is handmade right here in our woodshop and built to last.
Come by the market tomorrow and cross Dad off your shopping list with a gift he'll actually be excited to open.

These two trays came out of the same month of apprenticeship. Same project. Same maker (hi 👋). But wildly different personalities.

The skill we tackled this month? Steaming and bending wood. And honestly — it changes everything about what's possible.

Left: single-species walnut. Dark, moody, classic.

Right: a multi-species mix. Bold, colorful, full of personality.

Most of our woodworking apprenticeship classes start in the shop.
This month, they started in the woods.
Before anyone picked up a carving tool, we headed out for our first apprenticeship field trip. After learning chainsaw safety, wood selection, and traditional splitting techniques, each apprentice harvested and prepared their own bowl blank.
Over the next few weeks, these rough chunks of green wood will become hand-carved bowls.
The apprenticeship program is about more than woodworking. It's about understanding the entire process—from the standing tree to the finished piece in your hands.
That's an experience you don't get from a kit, a YouTube video, or a weekend class.
Stay tuned to watch these bowls take shape.
