About this Workshop
This class will focus on the shop-sawn veneer technique Adrian uses to create his decorative Ferrazzutti Boxes. His process was featured in the Fine Woodworking video “Veneered Boxes with a Twist.” Students will mill and glue multiple species of wood into striped blocks, resaw them into veneers, and cut the veneers into geometric shapes to create striking graphic designs. They will also learn to saw veneer from solid stock for the interiors of their boxes. The veneered patterns will be glued to plywood using a vacuum press before construction of the boxes begins. Students will cut the joinery, fit the tops, and learn to control waterfall veneer patterns or grain from the top across all sides of the box. Hardwood edging made from ebony or holly will be fitted and glued around the corners. Adrian will thoroughly demonstrate how to inlay high-quality side-rail hinges using the router table so students can install their hardware with precision. This action-packed class will include live demonstrations by Adrian while giving students plenty of working time to complete their boxes at MASW.
