This exciting new class features a small walnut Federal Style Hepplewhite side table with a whole lot of challenges and a boatload of new skills to be learned. The focus of this class will be efficiency in joinery, ornamentation, and design. Efficiency in joinery means completing as much joinery as possible in as few operations as practical, along with cutting joints that fit right off the machines. The ornamentation is simple, classic Federal style. String inlay on the legs, a patterned waist banding setting off the aprons, and a veneered & cockbeaded dovetailed drawer.  This project also features techniques that may be new to some of you. Planing a spring joint when making the top, book-matching the crotch walnut or walnut burl veneer for the drawer front, making dovetails efficiently and accurately, and learning to cut twin tenons on the drawer blade are all skills that make what is basically a simple table into an heirloom piece you can be proud of. This traditional Federal table will fit with just about any home décor and is small enough at 22” wide X 17” inches deep to fit just about anywhere. These are skills you will use over and over.
