Saturday, June 25 from 9 am to 11 am

Basic Cuts & Knife Safety is the first in an introductory series of classes that provide beginning carvers with a good foundation for the kinds of carving cuts that can be made, including push, stop and draw cuts. As with any sharp hand tools, this class will address the safe handling, application and sharpening of carving knives. The instructor will discuss all the basic tools and how they are used to carve wood safely with the desired results in mind. If time permits students will begin a project to carve a wooden ax to practice safe cuts from various approaches as learned in class.

Open to ages 8 - adult.

Materials and tools will be provided by the instructor.

Instructor: As a third generation woodworker Jeff Iller learned about woodworking tools and knives early on. By high school Jeff won ribbons with his wood carvings at his hometown fair. Around 1996 Jeff found room for a shop and he has carved ever since. He’ll carve most anything, but prefers to innovate with the working tools to carve multiple parts inside of one piece of wood and to make physically detailed and accurate carvings of women's faces.
He was taught early on that he could make anything from wood and he is still trying to prove that statement wrong.
