bow arm Morris chair |
|
In this course, you will build your own classic
Bow arm Morris chair, side by side with Gregory Paolini. The
arms are created using a bending form and a bent lamination technique.
There will be extensive Mortise and tennon joinery challenges, including
traditional integral tennons; Floating tennons, and hand cut
"through" mortise and tennon joints, on a curved surface.
You will also learn how to lay out the curved arms, and match them to
the corresponding side rails and legs, with a tight fit.
Upholstery and finishing techniques will be reviewed but not applied
during the class. Upon completion of the course, students will have
a chair that is dry fit, together, and ready for sanding, glue up, and
finishing work back at their own home shops. Or students can
choose to have us complete their chair to our museum quality standards
by taking advantage of our completion
service.
Course based on Gregory's article & Video which appeared in Fine Woodworking magazine. This class is limited to only 6 students, so you'll receive lots of instruction & personal attention ! |
