About this Class

If you have a counter, a kitchen desk, or full height bar, this is the class for you. Students will build two Greene and Greene-style backless barstools for their home and family. And, because barstools are in daily use and live out in the open, this project is a great way to show off your woodworking craftsmanship. The Medina Barstool is from Tim’s Arts and Crafts furniture collection. Originally created for Greene and Greene’s ultimate bungalows, Tim has built many for other clients. The stool features Arts and Crafts details, cloud lift edges and slots, pillowed ebony plugs and rock-solid construction. Its timeless design fits in any style home: classic, bungalow, modern and anywhere in between. Plus, if built with the right woods, they’re great for outdoor use. Students will make two stools, one to complete in class and one unassembled to finish at home or use as a pattern to build more. With 40 joint connections, angled joinery, a comfortable seat, and a new style of footrest there’s plenty of exciting challenges for intermediate to advanced woodworkers. These stools will be built in a modern way using Festool Domino joinery and CNC machined patterns for shaping and cutting out parts. Tim will also use digital tools for special detailing and carving. CNCs, CAD or digital woodworking skills are not required for this class. Students will learn a modern, professional woodworker’s approach to furniture making. That is, using every tool in the shop and combining hybrid, digital, and traditional tools to achieve the best possible result. Along with the barstools, participants will take home the knowledge of how to make use of local digital woodworking services for patterns for your own projects.
