Build a Queen Anne Style Tea Table with Phil Lowe

We are pleased to have Phil Lowe, one of this country’s leading experts on 18th & 19th century furniture styles and techniques, back to teach this unique and exciting class. This class will meet for one weekend per month for four months (8 full days) which will allow students extensive time for “homework” in between sessions. Phil will begin the class by making a full-size drawing of this graceful table and demonstrate how to make the patterns for  the cabriole legs. The cabriole legs will have the pad foot which involves some work on the lathe. Students can do their own turning or have Phil do it for them.  Sizing the parts, shaping the cabriole legs and cutting and fitting the mortice & tenons will keep you busy while you decide if you want to do the carved shell on the knees of the legs. That is an option that Phil will be demonstrating and encouraging. The curved bottom of the aprons add  a measure of grace (and more than a little complexity) to this seemingly simple table. Glueing up the top, making the mitered moldings around the top and making the candle slides will complete the table.  Don’t miss this opportunity to make this heirloom table while learning with one of this county’s leading craftsmen. Sign up today- space is limited. Tuition: $895.00 plus materials (note: payments can be stretched out over the couse of the class if you prefer)

Section 102409A: Saturday & Sunday, October 24 & 25, November 14 & 15, December 12 & 13, and January 30 & 31, 2010,  9:30am – 5:00pm
