About

These elegant, softwood boxes are glued together and feature removable tops. Traditionally, they stored many things, from tools to ingredients for tea ceremonies. Their simple design puts the focus on how the wood grain seamlessly blends each top to the lower box body and on the silky feel of the wood once it's smoothed with sharp Japanese-style hand planes.

This class is designed for both beginners and experienced woodworkers who want to develop skills in using traditional Japanese-style tools. You'll get to use:

• Japanese saws.
• Japanese marking gauges.
• Japanese planes.
• Japanese chisels.
