OPEN STUDIO??

This 5 day workshop will provide an introduction to a variety of essential woodworking principles and skills through the design and construction of a simple small table with a dovetailed drawer. Topics will include fashioning mortise & tenon joints and dovetail joints with hand tools, band saw and table saw skills, tool sharpening and wood finishing. The goal of this workshop is to grow skills and for each participant to create a beautifully finished heirloom piece to take home at the end of the course.

Doug Green first began woodworking in the late 1970’s, making small wooden boxes at his kitchen table, eventually becoming a master cabinetmaker in the prestigious shop of Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers. Years later, Doug patented an innovative process for furniture manufacturing that led to the founding of Green Design Furniture Co. in 1993. In his retirement, Doug is learning how to carve miniature sculptures in the tradition of Japanese Netsuke in his waterfront studio in Portland, Maine.
