Carve a “Pie Crust” Tray with Will Neptune

The “pie crust” carved table top on a tripod base is a beautiful example of the 18th century carver’s work. In this class students will make the top alone which can then be used as a tray. Will Neptune will guide students through the many challenges of this unique type of carving. The form presents the carver with a number of interesting technical challenges- beads and coves with inside and outside corner carved miters. Carving the same pattern around the circular top is a great lesson in reading grain direction. Careful layout of the pattern and the choice of carving gouges is an example of the common 18th century approach of relating design and technique. Don’t miss this great opportunity to further your carving skills under the guidance of one of this country’s foremost carvers and teachers. Tuition: $245.00 plus materials
