About this Class
An enthusiast of everything Arts & Crafts, Kevin had always wanted to have a settee in his home and found this original Stickley design to be the perfect fit. This version features a straightforward approach with clean lines and classic details. The design was featured in the Dec/Jan 2020-2021 issue of WOOD magazine. The original settee was built from quartersawn white oak, but this would certainly look beautiful in any hardwood. During the week, students will work on mortise and tenon joinery using a combination of machines and hand tools. The large legs will be built using a technique to enhance the grain on all faces and eliminate unsightly glue lines. Kevin will demonstrate the basics of resawing wider stock and show how to make your own bending form to help create the gentle curving arm. By the end of the week, students will have made a settee for their favorite lounging spot with a friend.
