Want to make your very own ramen dinner set? Over four weeks, this course will teach you how to make a variety of timber objects including two serving boards, a ramen spoon, a set of chopsticks and some chopstick and spoon rests using reclaimed timbers such as coachwood and New Guinea rosewood, reclaimed from locations throughout Sydney. You’ll learn how to finish your handmade items in a food-safe oil and wax finish so they can be used in your home, or to make the perfect gift.
While you’re making your ramen dinner set, you’ll learn how to safely use a variety of woodworking hand tools in the Among the Trees workshop to dimension, carve, cut and shape the timbers you’ll work with. You’ll be able to continue using these skills for other woodworking projects and this course will also qualify you for use of the Among the Trees 'Rent-a-bench’ program, allowing you to continue working on your own projects with our collection of restored hand tools.
This course is taught by our fantastic facilitator Steve Dawe (@stedhandmade on Instagram), and includes use all materials, finishes, and tools in the course cost.

Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. 
Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools. 
 
Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. 
Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.
 
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
