Simple is beautiful. This small breakfast table is patterned after a graceful Shaker design. The Shaker aesthetic combines simplicity and utility and makes this table both a visual delight and useful in a variety of settings. It also allows us to explore a variety of technical issues including joinery design, through wedged mortises, working with solid wood and making table tops. Come with your hand tool skills honed and ready to go as we’ll combine a good deal of hand work with machine techniques. Hand planes, chisel work, and spokeshave shaping will all be featured in this workshop as well as hand applied finishing techniques. |
