About the School:
Chidwick School of Fine Woodworking has grown. Originally it was exclusively a vacationwoodworking experience at our shop in Montana’s beautiful Bitterroot Valley, but now it has
expanded to include classes taught around the country; seminars at the touring Woodworking
Shows; online education; and plans, templates and instructional DVDs available for purchase.
We have one singular request of you, whichever aspect of Chidwick School of Fine
Woodworking you are accessing: Let your inner artist come out to play! Seriously, it is our
deep desire that the instruction, inspiration, and tools that you find at CSFW will propel you to
greatness, moving you beyond what you ever thought possible for your level of woodworking–
be it novice, intermediate or advanced.
Read on to meet the team that makes it all possible, both two and four-legged members, those in
the forefront and those behind the scenes…
