CLASS: Build a Shaker Style Candle Box with Grant Lutz, November 14-15
For centuries half blind dovetails have been the hall mark of fine furniture. Whether they are in drawer boxes, case sides or in this candle box, observers will be enamored by their quality and beauty. In this two day class students will be instructed in the assembly of a shaker style candle box using hand cut half blind dovetails. In addition, each student will fit a bottom and lid, in the style of a beveled panel into a dado. If you have a good base of hand tool skills already, then come join us to refine them further with a challenging but rewarding task that will "WOW" your friends, family, and clients.
