All of the New Wood Studio Tools Are In!

March 28, 2024

Once again, we want to thank everyone who supported the Wood Studio crowdfunding campaign. You should have received a thank you video highlighting the new wood lathes, and now we want to let you know about the rest of the tools. 


Below are a few photos of the additional tools and supplies we were able to order after hitting our stretch goal of $9,000. The tools include 9 detail gouges, 8 parting tools, 8 bowl gouges, 10 tool rests, 8 safety masks, and 2 sets of CBN sharpening wheels. With these new tools, our students can access even more creative avenues than ever before. 


Your support truly means the world to us, and we are so grateful for your generosity. Thank you once again for your support and belief in our project. We look forward to sharing the wonderful creations that will come from the new equipment! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates.
