Woodcraft Happenings

A few stores, including Spokane, Seattle, and Denver, are hosting either a Summer Clearance Event or a 15% Off Sale over the weekend of June 13th and 14th.

In Seattle and Denver, the first 25 customers to spend $25 on clearance items will receive a free Pinnacle marking and measuring tool.

There are also some interesting classes coming up around the country.

  • Sacramento has a Thor’s Hammer class, where students shape a wooden hammerhead on the table saw and turn a custom handle on the lathe.
  • St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Nashville have the Drunken Cutting Board class, which uses a bandsaw technique to create that wavy checkerboard pattern.
  • Greenville has a Celtic Knot Rolling Pin class, with both youth and adult sessions.
