BHSW occupies a 7,000 square foot sandstone building in Belle Fourche, at the northern tip of the Black Hills.

The school is owned and operated by woodshop author John English (who teaches furniture and cabinetmaking), and his wife Meg. Classroom instructors include Ken Froelich (hand tools/hand-cut joinery), Christie Jensen (stained glass), and Mark Koons (lamination, bending and hand tools), who is shown at right teaching a hand plane class.

BHSW also offers turning classes (primarily bowls), led by instructors with national reputations in this field.
