This course will be held over six Tuesday evenings and result in the creation of a beautiful three-legged bar stool.
You’ll learn how to cleave (split) and shape green (unseasoned) timber to create the legs and frame for the stool using a variety of traditional woodworking tools such as the drawknife and spokeshave. Using further old-school tools such as the adze and travisher, you’ll learn how to sculpt the seat of your stool to a comfortable saddle. In the assembly stages, we'll explore some traditional joinery techniques which you’ll use to put the stool together and ensure it never comes apart again. The end result will be a strong and elegant stool that will perfect for relaxing at your breakfast bar or even real bar if you're lucky enough to have one in your home!
This course is aimed at beginners as well as those with some previous experience. As the end product will be made predominantly with hand tools, expect a reasonable degree of physical exertion, although it’s certainly more enjoy than a boot camp!
