Dawson Moore

​
Green Woodworker

My Philosophy...
 Inspired by Educational Sloyd, which emphasizes making projects grow in degree of difficulty over a period of time, through the introduction of complexity of shape and procedures and through the gradual introduction of more difficult woodworking tools. Low instructor intervention is meant to encourage self sufficiency develop ones own sense of quality work.

My Story...
