Many
pieces of 18th century furniture use carved embellishments to enhance and add
visual interest to the work. Although carving seems daunting to many
woodworkers, it’s not as difficult as it appears once you understand the steps
involved for each type of carving. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be
guided step-by-step through sketching, layout, and carving of several classic
18th century designs. You’ll learn how to successfully execute
embellishments such as claw-and-ball feet, shells, volutes, and flame finials.
You'll complete several carving samples throughout the week.
