Lonnie Bird's School of Fine Woodworking

Lonnie has been woodworking for nearly thirty-five years and teaching for over twenty-five. In other words, he is not a magazine editor or tool salesman that works wood occasionally and teaches a few days each year; he has made fine woodworking and teaching fine woodworking his full-time passion.Lonnie is an expert with hand tools and woodworking machines; he knows how to tune a plane for top performance and he can set up a tablesaw for complex cuts. His knowledge base is broad because of his extensive woodworking experience; as a long-time woodworker he has built countless examples of fine dovetailed casework and drawers, carved tables, delicate inlay, sculpted chairs and elegant turned post beds.
