Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton are continuing an over 100-year family business of building and restoring American period furniture. They have made, by hand, many different chairs for entities such as The White House, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, West Point, and Colonial Williamsburg and the Furniture Symposium, just to mention a few, along with the person down the street. In this workshop, students will learn the design and layout steps used in building this unique chair as well as the joinery process which can be used to build almost any other chair or furniture piece. Students will use mortise and tenon joints as were used in the making of the original chair. There will also be several options for different back splat designs. Students will learn construction techniques which will transfer into future projects. Jeff and Steve have offered this class many times to rave reviews. This straightforward side chair, with its elegant design will not only blend in with your antiques but also with today’s contemporary designs. Come spend an enjoyable week while building this Chippendale Side Chair with two of America’s premier furniture makers.
