Jeff has been working with wood since childhood but, launched his own woodworking business in early 2024. Significant works include the garden sculptures at Bier (Noblesville), the Indiana Flybrary Project, and his line of wood products focused on local native wood.
About the Class
The course will include the basic starter set of knives for students to keep with some extra wood to take home. I plan to start the class with the basic principles of cutting and shaping as well as wood selection. The first portion of the class will be to have students transform a square block of wood into their best attempt of a ball. Once the basic cuts and angles are understood we will move into creating comfort birds. The class will be very fluid so that students can adjust to add their own take on the work. We will conclude class with proper sharpening techniques and the importance of stropping.
