Further in, visitors will notice that Highland Woodworking is a hands-on store with demo benches throughout the shop. It’s not uncommon to see a customer take a piece of wood and start planing it while staff members circle the shop to offer advice.

Past a peg wall full of hanging axes, you’ll spot photos of classes held through the years. Humbly hung among the visual history of the shop is one of President Jimmy Carter, who attended many woodworking seminars through the years. Upstairs, the main classroom has high windows that create a bright woodworking space. Workbenches on wheels make the room flexible and ready for both classes and larger seminars.

Yearly conferences are a way for Highland Woodworking to keep connections with its vendors, see the latest tools and network with woodworkers and instructors. Famous instructors such as Roy Underhill, who hosts the PBS series The Woodwright’s Shop, offers demonstrations at Highland Woodworking every couple of years. Bagby has noticed that the public coming out to attend these special demonstrations is becoming more and more diverse, which makes her hopeful about the future of the woodworking world.

“One really great thing is that in today’s world with the DIY movement, woodworking has become more hip,” Bagby said. “A lot of people are interested in building their own furniture and making their own way through life built by their hands.”
