The beautiful and resilient dovetail joint has become a hallmark of high-quality furniture. But in the past, it was a utilitarian method for joining boards together and often hidden on finer woodworking. This two-day class is an introduction to fine furniture making and traditional woodworking for anyone interested in early American furniture or classic joinery.  

Follow along with an easy layout process that makes this joint deceptively simple. Learn to use a saw, plane, and chisel confidently. You will walk away with a common article found in early American homes—a rustic candle box with a sliding lid. All tools and materials are provided.  

This class is for individuals ages 14+. Anyone under the age of 16 must register with an adult.
