Inlays Part 3: Using Epoxy

Part 1: Tuesday, September 23, 6 PM - 9 PM

Part 2: Wednesday, September 24, 6 PM - 9 PM

If your inlay pattern includes complicated or irregular shapes, epoxy can simplify the process and give a unique finished look. In this two-evening class, you'll use a router to cut the void and then choose a color, mix the epoxy and fill the void. The epoxy needs time to cure so during the second evening, you'll plane, sand and finish the board. At the end, you'll be ready to make more challenging shapes and patterns for future projects. Note: A $20 materials fee (cash or Square) will be collected by the instructor at the beginning of class.
