Tormek Scholarship Award
Since 2013, the Tormek Scholarship Award has been given to a senior student, majoring in woodworking or design. The purpose is to shed light on sharpening and to encourage you who aspire to high professional qualifications and want to invest time in your woodwork.
Regardless of whether you are using edge tools in your profession or in your hobby, sharp tools are crucial for the result. We are honoured to see that Tormek has been a part of the process in these creative and challenging projects below!
