Class Description:

The 2nd class in our comprehensive series, Furniture Making 1 begins to apply the fundamental concepts taught in Fundamentals of Woodworking to creating beautiful furniture. This table is designed by Philip Morley and includes thin tapered, angled and curved legs. A shadow groove runs around the top as subtle detail to make this piece of furniture elegant yet contemporary. Students will get the chance to use both machines and hand tools in this project.
