Woodworking Workshop:

My partner and I decided to do a woodworking workshop together and chose, out of the available options to make some wooden bowls. I chose the cherry wood (I believe my partner's bowl may have been walnut?)

It took about 4 hours and the price was well worth it for both of us and the instructor was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I think you should absolutely consider booking one if you find one near where you live. I had a great time!
