ABOUT
Sawkill workshops are designed for learning the fundamentals of woodworking, making objects of reclaimed wood, and revealing the sources of these spectacularly beautiful woods.
The classes are for people of all backgrounds – beginners to those more experienced and looking to explore the woods with a fun project that doesn’t take long to complete.
BUILD SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE
We cover basic woodworking skills, using both power tools and traditional hand tools; with an emphasis on safety and technique. There are so many benefits to learning woodworking in modern times, along with creating a long-lasting and cherished object.
The allure of old WOOD
The workshops features reclaimed antique and vintage woods, often from ancient forests. These woods emerge from decommissioned old buildings with depth and beauty, and the character marks that are witness to their history.
REIMAGINE A PIECE OF
OLD New York
The workshops provide participants with access to rare virgin growth woods from old building in and around New York and beyond. Each participant brings this history full circle, as they re-imagine, re-configure and re-mill this raw material into an incredibly special one-of-a-kind object.

Walking into the warehouse is like a trip through history, with wood ranging from the Coney Island boardwalk to factory flooring to fresh lumber from the mill.
