Participants in this class will complete at least two projects made from recycled wood. Old timber has a character and texture that cannot be replicated. In recycling an old piece of wood, you allow the timber to live on with a new purpose.

Part two: 5 Nights
Design and make a wall-mounted shelving unit from recycled timber
- Participants are encouraged to bring in an old piece of furniture with a view to dismantling it for reuse in this project.
