Bainbridge Island Community Woodshop is an all-volunteer group established to promote the craft of woodworking in our community through classes, service projects, and special programs. We are also actively working to build a woodworking shop that will be open to members and participants in classes.
The first houses in the new Ferncliff Avenue affordable housing project are just beginning to be built, but a beautiful amenity of the neighborhood—a timberframed bus shelter—is already in place. Volunteers from Bainbridge Island Community Woodshop assembled and finished the structure in mid November, using wood from trees that had to be cleared from the site to make way for the development. Coyote Woodworks, a Bainbridge sawmill company, milled the wood, and timberframers at Salisbury Construction cut the joinery. See how the structure took shape.
