Description
6 day class
Completing even a simple chair often involves the use of layout methods and construction techniques that most furniture workshops no longer practice. Working through each stage of this craftsman-style rocking chair will help students gain new levels of confidence as they complete this challenging and complex project. At the end of the class, each student will leave with a finished rocking chair of heirloom quality that can be passed down from generation to generation, as well as the skills needed to build more chairs at home, including dining room chairs.

As with all our courses, we emphasize the important elements of traditional hand-tool use through teacher demonstrations and practical hands-on instruction throughout each day. In addition to reinforcing the skills already taught through the Foundational Joinery Course, you will also learn other skills such as how to lay out and cut angled tenons and apply leather upholstery for the seat. In this class, we make this chair in cherry. If you would like to make it in walnut, it will be an additional $160.00.
This class is from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
NOTE: We offer a Deferred Payment Option for classes costing over $1,000.00. You’ll need to pay 50% of the registration fee when you register and then the balance will be due 30 days prior to your class. (We will charge the balance to the same card you used when you registered for your class.) When you add the class to your shopping cart, you will automatically be charged the full amount of the class unless you put in the Coupon Code of WOODCLASS. (This code is case sensitive. Feel free to cut and paste it into the coupon code area if you’d like.)
