Learn the art and timeless techniques of hand-tooled Japanese woodworking.

Japanese woodworking utilizes ingenious hand-tool joinery to construct pieces without the use of fasteners or adhesives. These techniques emphasize the strength of each individual piece of wood creating a finished project that will stand the test of time. There is no rotting via rusted fasteners and no cracking or splitting from constraining the wood when it wants to move.
