Using carefully prepared thin strips of wood each participant will carve the ÒswallowtailsÓ or ÒfingersÓ on one end before soaking them in a hot water bath to soften for bending. Copper tacks are installed to hold the oval hoop together before top and bottom boards are fit and held by wooden pegs. Each student will construct five nesting oval boxes from cherry wood in this two-day workshop. Special Notes:Ê This class is open to all experience levels, no woodworking experience required!
