Garden Bench Workshop

Price: $150

May 18: 10am-4pm

The Garden Bench class is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in woodworking. In this one day workshop, we will cover wood selection, basic milling, joinery, glue-ups, assembly, and finishing. The project itself is designed to be simple without being simplistic, and should be a good challenge for beginning woodworkers.

We saw Fred’s work at the LA Arboretum show: Forces of Nature and were really impressed! We invited him to give workshop on some techniques used in his artwork. Details still TBD but this one will undoubtedly be fantastic!

We built this bed for our friend Jena. The material is redwood and poplar. Hopefully she has sweet dreams!

THE OTHER HALF

image

We built this “client table” for our friends at The Whitehouse in addition to the Wooden Upholstery posted below. This table is a combination of two mid-century designs we admired. In ours the unusual leg detail becomes a section cut dividing the table and creating a perfectly matched bench.
Feast your eyes on the sword-tip miters, the delicately shaped aprons, book-matched teak, and walnut cut from a single massive plank!

Thankfully it has a good home!

West Coast Shaker Box Workshop

Price: $150

Apr 13: 10am-4pm
or
Apr 14: 10am-4pm

We have been meaning to offer a class involving our collaborator Manny Torres and his laser cutter, and we have long admired the oval Shaker box for its beauty and simplicity. For those of you who wonder what lasers and Shakers have in common, consider this: the Shakers invented the circular saw, and if that pesky vow of abstinence hadn’t proved their undoing, they could easily have invented the laser as well. So lets celebrate the impressive craft legacy of the Shakers by building boxes the way the Shakers would want us to: with piety and lasers!
