Handsaws, which we will cover western and Japanese pull saws to practice proper sawing techniques. Chisels will be used also to practice making a mortise with clean edges. During the class we will also talk and use other hand tools such as spoke shaves, card scrapers, drawknives, rasps/files etc. This class elevates your skill set to begin using various tools and skills to start implementing them into your own projects.

Ball and Claw Foot Carving

with Austin Chandler

Saturday, July 31, 2027, 9 AM - 2 PM

This class is a great opportunity to learn a basic fundamental element of period furniture making. It’s suggested to take the Spoon Carving and/or Intro to Traditional Woodcarving class prior to this class, but not necessary. The Ball and Claw foot is an iconic detail found in many early American furniture pieces, particularly in the Chippendale style. Though Thomas Chippendale never had an example of one, early American period furniture makers who immigrated from Dutch countries started implementing this concept into Chippendale style furniture, being it popular during the era. It’s derived from Chinese influence, mimicking a dragon clutching a ball or gem. It’s associated with American furniture, as we attributed the visual aspect to that of an eagle claw. This class covers how to layout the foot dimensionally, shape and carve the ball, integrate the webbings, detail the talons, and shape the toes. This class is a wonderful chance for furniture makers and woodworkers alike to heighten the quality and aesthetic of their woodworking projects.

This class is designed to teach you some of the most essential and important joinery techniques to construct and secure lumber together for your furniture and woodworking projects. Though not necessary, it is encouraged to take the Hand Tools 101 and 201 classes prior to this. We will be delving into how to cut dovetails by hand, from laying out tailboards with dividers/ bevel gauges, sawing techniques, pairing with chisels and having a proper tight fit. This will completely change how your assemble cabinets, drawers and other forms of boxes. We will also be doing our own mortise and tenons, which is another essential way to create a hidden joint that is long lasting and applicable to numerous project types.
