Table Class
Build your own heirloom-quality table while establishing a strong foundation of furniture-making skills in this multi-week intermediate workshop.
Meeting once a week over 8 weeks, this course takes you through the complete furniture-making process—from design and material selection to joinery, construction and finishing. By the end of the class, you'll have the skills to build high-quality furniture and a bespoke Shaker-style table of your own.
