Support our Partners A special Thank You to Henry's Tree Service

A special Thank You to Henry's Tree Service

 

We are deeply grateful to Henry’s Tree Service for generously supplying much of the wood we use in our classes and community carving events. Their care in selecting and delivering quality logs makes it possible for us to teach traditional woodworking the way it was meant to be taught — with real, locally sourced material that works beautifully under hand tools.


Please consider supporting Henry’s Tree Service for your own tree care needs. They’ve been an invaluable partner to Colonial Crafts of Connecticut, and we’re proud to recommend their work. They are fully insured.
