Overview

Our students are on a distinct mission during this intense 2 days within the school. The aim is to create a beautiful solid wood box featuring mitred and splined (dovetail splines) joints as well as a sliding lid. We pack in as much skill-building as the time allows and therefore feel that this course is perfect for both beginners and those with previous woodwork experience. All tools and timber are provided and the box, as well as any test pieces, are yours to take away and treasure.
