DIRECTIONS TO WOOD CONSTRUCTION

Woodworking, one of humankind’s most ancient skills, remains to this day a source of great personal satisfaction and wealth. In many other modern jobs, automation has cut the value of human labor. Not from fine woodworking, however. No prefabricated product can match the luster and luxury of hand-crafted boats, custom homes, and original cabinets.

The Wood Construction Center has trained northwest woodworkers since 1936. Programs include core training in safety, skills, tools and materials, and specialization in Cabinetmaking, Carpentry or Boat Building, in which students can earn either an Associate of Applied Science degree or a certificate. The Center also offers evening community education classes at a variety of skill levels.

The Center enrolls approximately 120 students per quarter. From High School students to working adults to retirees, most arrive with no prior woodworking experience.
