Choose between the Pennsylvania or Massachusetts style!

The Pennsylvania table has carved feet; the Massachusetts table has a carved fan on the apron. Both tables share beautiful features such as carved cabriole legs, a finely molded top, and lipped dovetailed drawers. In this six-day class, you'll learn post-and-rail construction, bandsawing and shaping compound curves, and drawer construction. The sturdy drawers are constructed with handcut dovetails and the legs feature finely-carved feet.

Topics Include:  

  • Sculpting cabriole legs

  • Fundamentals of Carving

  • Post-and-rail construction

  • Fitting drawer runners and kickers

  • Fitting lipped drawers

  • Expansion and contraction in a wide top

Prerequisite: Woodworking Essentials  The dressing table is a very challenging project that requires considerable handtool skills. We want you to be prepared for this advanced course so that you will gain the most from your experience. Please read the Prerequisite page for details on our policy.

 Class size is limited to nine students so that you’ll receive personal attention and instruction.
