Carpentry Tools

Welcome to the woodshop! The carpenters make some amazing things in here—we’ve seen little stools, beautiful chairs, and one man even doing some intricate wood carvings. One year we came for the Lantern Tour at Christmas time, where we went around the farm by lantern light. In the woodshop, they were working by candlelight on a very unique Christmas decoration: Very thin slivers of wood were carved off a board; they naturally formed little curly-cues and then were linked together in a decorative chain. A very ingenious idea!
