Review Body: Solid (pun intended) 5 🌟 workshop! With 0 experience when it comes to woodworking, my partner and I had a lot of fun making our own serving board. Glennard explained, demonstrated and supervised each step clearly, ensuring our safety was never compromised. He was not only knowledgeable but also patient with my endless woodworking and (non woodworking related) questions! Honestly for the level of detail and dedication in which the class is conducted, I would consider the price very reasonable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try their hand at woodworking, try out something new or even celebrate a special occasion! Thanks again :)

Review Body: I greatly appreciate how patient and knowledgable Glennard is, whenever I ask questions or provide my own design input. He was invested in creating a quality product and answered my queries with no trouble. During the process when I felt uneasy about making certain wood cuts, he took over from me and demonstrated his technique. He also ensured that I follow the best woodworking practices and corrected my beginner mistakes. The end result was an armour stand which fulfilled my requirements and is fully functional, along with a practical skill that I gained!

Review Body: We did the serving board workshop with Ugly Wood Company to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. Glennard was warm, knowledgeable, and patient — guiding us through each step from selecting the wood to shaping, sanding, and finishing. We loved learning the story behind the local “ugly” wood and how imperfections are embraced and transformed. It was hands-on, meaningful, and surprisingly therapeutic. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience!

Review Body: Had a really great experience at the DIY serving board class! The whole workshop was very informative and super fun. Really happy with the results, so satisfying to have a charcuterie board that I can say was made by myself :) Glennard is a very patient instructor, the tools we had to use felt intimidating at the start but Glennard created an environment where we felt safe to use it. 10/10 would recommend as a cute activity to do with loved ones!

Review Body: Glennard was there to guide us, but also made sure we got to do majority of the work ourselves, so that we could have more ownership of our pieces. Safety was prioritised, and the flow of the workshop was smooth! One of the more unique workshop experiences in SG! Would recommend this to people looking to try woodworking in a cosy and safe setting.
