Our Fine Furniture Series is designed to help students gain confidence in their ability to create beautiful pieces of furniture that will last for generations. While the series does incorporate power tools, it focuses on developing hand tool skills, to include sharpening and using smoothing planes, bench chisels, and card scrapers. In this particular session, students will spend four days honing their skills by building an heirloom quality end table featuring traditional joinery techniques like double tusk tenon, half-lap dovetail, and half-blind dovetails. Students will also receive hands-on practice with making and applying banding, inlay, and cockbead molding. With a smaller class size, students can be confident they will receive personalized instruction as they tackle the project and create their masterpiece. OPTIONAL UPGRADE: Students can upgrade their primary wood to Walnut for an additional $100.
