Ever been up a creek without a paddle? Never again! Carve your own sculling paddle from local sassafras wood. You will be using hand tools such as spokeshaves, drawknives, hand planes, and hand files. Tools will be available but participants may want to bring their own tools as well as a lawn chair, and gloves. Design concepts and wood working tips will be covered. Most of the work will be done outdoors so please dress accordingly.

If you are participating in the nature center's Year of Color this is wild card bead (pick any color you need).
