Choose between the
Carolina or the Pennsylvania style!
This is one of our most popular classes and this year you can choose the North

Both blanket chests are beautifully
proportioned and feature sculptural dovetailed bracket feet and a molded lid.
This is an exciting, six-day class that's sure to build your skills in dovetailing

heirloom chest and lots of great woodworking skills.
