Creating furniture out of wood is highly satisfying. The process of cutting, joining, and sanding raw lumber and turning it into an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, toy or other object employs a range of skills and fully engages your senses.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many people don\u2019t have the know how and \/ or equipment to undertake this fulfilling\u00a0work. That\u2019s where Off the Saw<\/a> can help out. Founded by furniture maker Laura Zahn<\/a>, Off the Saw is a collaborative wood shop, located in downtown Los Angeles, that provides a space for woodworkers to come \u201c\u2026together around quality tools and shared knowledge.\u201d The organization also offers classes to the public.<\/p>\n
