Workshop Description

The first day of class will start with a brief description of the desired outcome, followed by a discussion about the pattern and how to achieve the best results. Eli will also go over the table saw sled and its construction, then discuss the many design options that can be implemented into cutting the herringbone pattern. Much of this class will involve the glue-up of the many pieces that make up the pattern. This takes time, patience, and attention to detail. Unlike standard segmenting, this pattern cannot be glued up in rings; it has to be assembled piece by piece. Learning this pattern will add one more layer to a segmenter’s skill set but will also help anyone in woodworking learn gluing sequencing on difficult parquetry work. The herringbone pattern is a break from the standard segmenting rings. Throughout the class, Eli will discuss design techniques as well as other embellishments and patterns that can be incorporated into the finished piece. What is so exciting about segmenting is that there are no limitations. If you can dream it, you can make it.
