About
This weekend class will cover delicate string or line inlays, larger surface inlays such as panels, making and inlaying patterned bandings, and using non-wood materials such as silver and shell. We will also focus on complementary decorative edges, side beads and proud cockbeads used to highlight the edge of a table apron or drawer.
We will work almost entirely by hand, so naturally sharpening, tuning , and using hand tools will be an important emphasis. Students will work on sample boards to practice designing and using these decorative techniques.
Tools
No tools are required for this course. Please feel free to use the school’s tools. If you are planning to bring your own tools, we suggest reading Garrett’s Hand Tool Recommendations.
Prerequisites
You should have some woodworking experience. This class should not be your first time working with hand tools. If you have self studied and completed many of the projects in Jim Tolpin’s “The New Traditional Woodworker” or have taken hand tool classes elsewhere or have other equivalent experience then this will be a great class for you.
