Sun 2-6, 5/4 to 5/25 - Enrollment deadline: 4/29/25

In this five-session class, you will learn both machine and hand tool methods for the basics of chair making, while building a classic post and rung stool. Parts will be roughed out using the table saw and bandsaw and then you’ll learn to further shape and refine your parts with a variety of hand planes and spokeshaves. We’ll cover round mortise and tenon joinery for assembling our parts into a four sided stool. Finally, you will learn about different weaving patterns in traditional shaker tape to weave a pattern for your seat.  This class is suitable for beginners and returning students alike. 

See color options for the Shaker tape seat here. When you register, you can choose two different colors for a patterned seat or two of the same for solid color seat.
