SUMMARY:Wharton Esherick Inspired Library Steps – Hands-on Class
DESCRIPTION:Wharton Esherick is called the Dean of American Woodworkers. He was making contemporary\, or studio furniture long before those terms existed. These Wharton Esherick-inspired library steps exemplify his eye for balance and design. \n  \n\nWharton Esherick Library Steps\nIn this 5-day class\, you’ll build an interpretation of the iconic Wharton Esherick library steps. From its carved\, asymmetrical twisted column with through mortise-and-tenon joinery\, to the curved dovetail connection between the risers and treads\, this piece will challenge even the most experienced woodworker.

SUMMARY:Finishing from Pristine to Patinated – Hands-on Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a pile of projects sitting in your shop that are complete except for the finish?  Or are you stuck in the rut of making pieces that deserve a great finish\, but you revert to rubbing on a bit of oil and call it done because it feels safe and comfortable? It’s time to kick up your skills in my Finishing from Pristine to Patinated class. \nPristine to Patinated\nEverything from surface prep to finishing the finish is covered in this five-day class. We’ll begin by taking a project you bring along and properly prepare all the surfaces for the type of finish you want in the end.  Then it’s time to adjust the color\, which is achieved by using dyes\, stains\, chemical treatments\, and pigmented topcoats. Patination and aged finishes are also covered in this week-long class.

SUMMARY:Finishing from Pristine to Patinated – Hands-on Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a pile of projects sitting in your shop that are complete except for the finish?  Or are you stuck in the rut of making pieces that deserve a great finish\, but you revert to rubbing on a bit of oil and call it done because it feels safe and comfortable? It’s time to kick up your skills in my Finishing from Pristine to Patinated class. \nPristine to Patinated\nEverything from surface prep to finishing the finish is covered in this five-day class. We’ll begin by taking a project you bring along and properly prepare all the surfaces for the type of finish you want in the end.  Then it’s time to adjust the color\, which is achieved by using dyes\, stains\, chemical treatments\, and pigmented topcoats. Patination and aged finishes are also covered in this week-long class.

SUMMARY:Build a Cantilevered Chair
DESCRIPTION:Build a Cantilevered Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJuly 10 – 15\, 2026\n\n09:00 AM – 05:00 PM \n\n\n\n\nManchester \n\n\n\n\n\nSession information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n  \nGeorge Nakashima was one of the most influential studio woodworkers of the twentieth century. In this class\, we take inspiration from several cantilevered chair designs to make a chair of our own that makes a visual statement. \nChairs can be some of the trickiest projects to build because of the angular joinery. While the construction of this chair is fairly straightforward\, there is plenty to test the skills of woodworkers of any skill level. Whether you’re still perfecting woodworking skills or you’re a seasoned veteran\, this project is a great gateway into chairmaking. Unlike Queen Anne and Chippendale chairs\, where compound-angle joinery abounds\, cantilevered chairs are single-angle and easily created using modern power equipment. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any handwork for those hand-tool enthusiasts. The seats and spindles are shaped and finished by hand. \nThe first two days (October 28 & 29) of this class are spent working on the design of the chair\, understanding chair mechanics\, and creating the structural joints. The second two-day session (November 18 & 19) focuses on saddling the seat and attaching the spindles and crest rails. \nThe spindles for the back will be turned by a local woodturner but you will have the opportunity to learn how this is done. The class is broken up into two weekends so you will have plenty of time between sessions for any handwork and practicing that you will want to do. This class is 4 full days. \nYou can make your chair in walnut or cherry. \nPlease select appropriate material fee when checking out \nSign up today—space is limited! \n

SUMMARY:Build a Cantilevered Chair
DESCRIPTION:Build a Cantilevered Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJuly 10 – 15\, 2026\n\n09:00 AM – 05:00 PM \n\n\n\n\nManchester \n\n\n\n\n\nSession information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n  \nGeorge Nakashima was one of the most influential studio woodworkers of the twentieth century. In this class\, we take inspiration from several cantilevered chair designs to make a chair of our own that makes a visual statement. \nChairs can be some of the trickiest projects to build because of the angular joinery. While the construction of this chair is fairly straightforward\, there is plenty to test the skills of woodworkers of any skill level. Whether you’re still perfecting woodworking skills or you’re a seasoned veteran\, this project is a great gateway into chairmaking. Unlike Queen Anne and Chippendale chairs\, where compound-angle joinery abounds\, cantilevered chairs are single-angle and easily created using modern power equipment. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any handwork for those hand-tool enthusiasts. The seats and spindles are shaped and finished by hand. \nThe first two days (October 28 & 29) of this class are spent working on the design of the chair\, understanding chair mechanics\, and creating the structural joints. The second two-day session (November 18 & 19) focuses on saddling the seat and attaching the spindles and crest rails. \nThe spindles for the back will be turned by a local woodturner but you will have the opportunity to learn how this is done. The class is broken up into two weekends so you will have plenty of time between sessions for any handwork and practicing that you will want to do. This class is 4 full days. \nYou can make your chair in walnut or cherry. \nPlease select appropriate material fee when checking out \nSign up today—space is limited! \n
