Located in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton are continuing a fifth-generation business of building and restoring American traditional furniture and architectural pieces made before the 1820s. This will be a two-day adventure in building an exceptional Federal-style side table with a hidden drawer. The hidden drawer won’t be the only secret students will discover while producing this great table. The serpentine top has a beveled undercut shape, which gives a light and airy feel to this piece. During this class, students will cut straight tapered legs with mortise and tenon case construction. Jeff and Steve will show how to hand cut the dovetail for the drawer, teaching the tried-and-true method of cutting dovetails along with the process of constructing the drawer. There really isn’t a particular name for this table, but with the drawer front, it lends itself to be placed anywhere in your home. By the end of the second day, students will have a better understanding of traditional joinery, plus countless other bits of information necessary to execute building any type of furniture. Students will be emailed a cut list so they can bring their own desired materials.
