It’s like having a shop away from home, with great tools, mentorship, and community. Students design and construct projects of their choice. Expert instructors offer guidance on design, construction, and finishing, based on individual needs.
We also have a large library of books for you to peruse and get ideas and see patterns. Maybe you want to build a hammock holder, plant stand or bookshelves – we have lots of plans. You are welcome to come down and dream and plan.

Learn basic woodworking skills from a Master Craftsman. This basic woodworking class introduces you to the tools at Anvil and the way we “do business”. Once you take this class, and the instructor feels that you have a grasp of the tools, you are eligible to take a projects class and work on what you want.
Cost is $60 for a 3 hour class – then a $20 credit towards a project class.
BUILD YOUR OWN LONG BOW TAUGHT BY MASTER CRAFTSMAN JOHN STRUNK
This is a unique opportunity to learn Bow Making from a Master Craftsman. You just have to search his name in Google to find that he is a highly sought after teacher and mentor. Check out this article on Travel Oregon.
“When John carefully crafts his next “tool” from the 6-foot long, lanky stick of wood, it’s clear that the Tillamook County resident has a master bow maker’s touch. For nearly forty years, Strunk has tried and succeeded in creating everything just like native people might have: the bows, the arrows, quivers and broad heads. The natural materials he prefers for bow making include: bamboo, maple, osage and the long popular and gorgeous Yew wood.”
This class is only open to 10 students, so reserve your spot. It will be Saturday and Sunday, October 13 & 14 from 8 – 5 pm. Cost is $250+Bow staves which are provided by John. He brings a variety to choose from and they range in price from $50 to $125. They are purchased from John at the time the class begins.
