Are you looking for the best woodworking gift ideas for your traditional woodworker? Well we can help find that perfect woodworker gift this holiday season! In the video above, the lovely Mrs. Claus shares her favorite woodworking gift. And below I share our six best gifts for woodworkers:
1. Take a Hand Tool Woodworking Class
According to Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, as mentioned in the video above, one of the best gifts for woodworkers is the gift of learning. And what better way to learn hand tool woodworking, than taking a traditional woodworking class at the Wood and Shop Traditional Woodworking School?
We have just released the 2024 hand tool woodworking class schedule for our woodworking school, and we’d love to share it with you below! But first, if you’d like to give a traditional woodworking class to a loved one or a friend, you can certainly just sign them up directly here. Or if you’re not sure what class or merchandise they’d like as a gift, you can purchase a digital gift card here:
2. Buy a Digital Woodworking Class or Woodworking DVD
Is a woodworking class beyond your budget, or beyond your traveling ability (Earlysville, Virginia)? Well we’ve got a bunch of other great stuff that you can give as a woodworking gift. How about a woodworking video class or DVD?
3. Buy a Traditional Woodworking T-Shirt or Hat
How about letting your woodworker show off their woodworking hobby with one of our cool traditional hand tool woodworking T-shirts, Hoodies, or hats? You can check some out here:
4. Buy our Traditional Beeswax Wood Finishes
Looking for an amazing stocking stuffer that will make your woodworker family or friend happy? Why not buy one of our all-natural beeswax wood finishes, that we make right here in the Wood and Shop Traditional Woodworking School?

Another great woodworker gift that anyone would love is one of our sturdy ceramic mugs that feature our handplane designs.
