Jewelry Box class photo: marquetry dog wins!

This was the 'Jewelry box with Marquetry' class at William Ng School of Fine Woodwork in Los Angeles, where everyone designed and built an walnut box with a marquetry lid. The different designs everyone generated were quite astounding!  Most had never done marquetry before and just about everyone finished their boxes by the fifth day.

The doggie box won first place (Check out the reflection of the eyes!) I will be doing this class next year, and again, it will be limited to twelve people.

"Making Curves In Furniture" Class, Oct 22-23 2011

Pschurchbox-213x300
I'll be at the Ng School of Woodworking on Oct. 22-23, 2011 to teach "Making Curves in Furniture". This two-day class will be a hands on demonstration dedicated to understanding the process of making curved panels that work. Curves can be used in furniture, both traditional and contemporary styles, modern work to sculpture, and can take veneered furniture projects to a whole new level with the introduction of curves.
There are many questions about proper bending materials, adhesives and veneering techniques that will be covered and practiced during these two days, and should be an very informative two day class for every level of woodworker aspiring to throw a curve into their next project!
- Designing with curves.
- Creating curved clamping cauls and preparing bending plywood.
- Understanding vacuum and laminating technology.
- Gluing up a curved panel with veneer.
- Sanding and finishing of a curved surface.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions about this class at : paul@schurchwoodwork.com and I look forward to working with you soon!

The maximum class size is only 12, so REGISTER TODAY!
