We will make a closed handled smoothing plane (maple with a wenge handle and strike button), plus the plane blade. A 2 day workshop. $160 plus a materials fee. One opening left.

Dovetailed Jewelry Box with Handtools. December 6-7.
We will make a dovetailed keyed lock jewelry box (Peruvian walnut and quilted maple) using either through or half blind dovetails. Hand planes to dimension the work, cut the grooves and decorations, etc. Experience (even limited) with dovetails is necessary. A 2 day workshop. $160 plus a materials fee. One opening left.
