Description
Custom hand cut moldings will add an element of historic beauty to your furniture like nothing else. Students will learn how to layout and block in custom molding patterns, and will then cut the moldings and beads with complex and simple wooden molding planes, beading planes, and snipe’s-bill planes. Bill will provide highly-tuned antique molding planes for students to use. Students can also bring their own molding planes to get some tips on rehabbing them (if you’re serious about rehabbing wooden planes, then sign up for Bill’s class on “Restoring Wooden Handplanes“). If you can’t take this class, then check out this DVD that it’s based on.
