Description
This is an intermediate level class designed to aid you in the design and construction of fine decorative boxes. You will learn several decorative joinery and finishing techniques as you make a series of three boxes to take home with you. First we will make a splined-miter box, in which you will learn how to accurately cut miters and reinforce them with decorative cross grain splines. Next we will make a finger jointed box, where you will learn techniques to making accurate, repeatable finger joints, accentuated with alternating wood species. The third and final box will feature small dovetails, the hallmark of great craft. The boxes will feature sleeved inserts, fitted lids, and cut lids. We will examine three different finishing methods for achieving different results. We will also examine unique lid design, material selection for decorative pieces, and a variety of other essential skills.
Join us to take you craft to the next level. Seats are limited, so register today, this one will fill up fast! Classes begin each day at 9:00AM and end at 5:00PM.
