Chair making with Philip Morley

Come and build your skills and furnish your home with this sleek and contemporary Morley Lounge chair.

Designed with a Mid Century flair but supremely comfortable, this chair is an excellent way to both develop your woodworking skills and make a statement in your home. Designed by Philip Morley – your instructor, you’ll find yourself learning about traditional joinery and careful craft, and unique design touches.

This build will help you focus on accurate layout, careful measurement, and the use of templates for pattern routing.

Some of the key learning points include:

• Making bridle and mortise & tenon joints
• Handtool use – spokeshaves and hand planes
• Using templates and jigs for pattern routing
• Power tool techniques such as coping on the table saw
• Design features such as decorative veneering of the panels

Materials Note:  Provided by the School.  We will be offering some choices of species, but if you have a “stash” you may want to consider bringing something unique for the panels.

There are several long days in this class come prepared to work hard 🙂
