Sonny,
I don't think it was a "Woodshed" course but there are two that I'm aware of: a very uptempo chicken-pickin' version in the booklet "Jeff Newman and a Few Good Friends and one other (my favorite) that is swing style using the lever that drops your Es. Both are pretty hot pieces.

I have most of Newman’s “Woodshed Workshop” series plus a lot of his other material.
He put out “Steel Guitar Rag” as a separate course complete with an audio cassette (older) or a CD (newer). It’s pretty good! Basically, he takes you through the melody & chorus 2 different ways and then there’s an extended solo section where you drop your E’s (4 & 8 ) which puts you in a 6th tuning. The solo is quick single-note work.
It really is a workout and not your garden-variety tab of Steel Guitar Rag.
