Looking for a woodworking gift that actually gets used? 🎁

A Wood Whisperer Guild Gift Certificate lets your favorite woodworker choose the courses they’re most excited about, from foundational skills to advanced furniture builds.

Here’s how it works,
• Purchase the gift certificate online
• Choose at checkout whether the code is sent to you or directly to them
• You’ll also receive an email with three different printable certificate designs, perfect for giving a physical gift

Best part, there’s no shipping involved, so there’s no risk of it arriving late. Unless an email wanders into a spam folder, but don’t worry, we’re always here to help and support your order.

✨ Bonus
Get 10% off your gift certificate order by using the coupon code CERT10

Psst… don’t look now, but we may have accidentally on purpose launched a pre-order for our new coffee ☕️😏

No big announcement, no confetti cannons, just a quiet little drop for the folks who like their mornings strong and their launches low-key.

If your shop runs on caffeine, poor decisions, and “one more cup,” this one’s for you.

👉 Grab it here before we pretend this was a big coordinated plan all along:

🚨 Shop heads up 🚨

We’re officially in crunch time if you want things to land before Christmas.

USPS recommends:
• Ground Advantage, order by Dec 17
• Priority Mail, order by Dec 18

No guarantees this time of year, but ordering sooner definitely stacks the odds in your favor.

If you’ve been eyeing something for your shop, or need a last-minute gift for a woodworker, now’s the time to pull the trigger.

Still not sure what to get? Grab a digital gift card anytime and let your woodworker or maker pick exactly what they want from our catalog.

We’ll keep packing and shipping as fast as we can on our end. Thanks for supporting the shop, and good luck out there, holiday shipping is a contact sport. 🎄📦

WRONG! Zoom in. An important lesson when looking at other peoples’ work online: pictures are remarkably forgiving, especially when it comes to finishes. So when you compare your own work, remember that everyone’s work has flaws….you just might not be able to see them. I was messing around with a new finish today and took some pictures. Scrolling through them tonight, I was surprised how good the finish looked even though I know it looked like a pile of hot doodie in the shop.

I feel like they could have done better.

The best part about a Guild course is how much of the information carries over into every project you build. In this clip, Alex breaks down her approach to shaping lumbar slats, a detail that shows up in nearly every chair design, especially when you start creating your own.

Even if the Parlor Settee is not on your project list, the techniques and problem-solving in this course will level up your woodworking across the board.

The full course drops on December 19th, but you can lock in the pre-order discount right now. Grab it here before the price goes up:
