The Future of Woodworking: Inspiring the Next Generation

Woodworking is more than just a trade—it’s an art form. Yet, many young people today grow up in a digital world, disconnected from hands-on craftsmanship. Schools often prioritize technology over traditional trades, leading to a decline in aspiring woodworkers.

At Barouke, we believe in keeping the craft alive. Whether it’s through education, mentorship, or simply sharing the beauty of handcrafted wood, we must take steps to inspire younger generations.

How Can We Preserve This Craft?

Workshops & Apprenticeships – Hands-on experience is key to mastering the art.

Modernizing Woodworking – Blending traditional techniques with CNC and laser-cutting tech.

Sharing Stories – Highlighting artisans and their journeys to spark interest.

Woodworking isn’t just a skill—it’s a legacy and if we don’t act now, we risk losing something truly irreplaceable.
