Whiskey Cabinet

Intermediate

Erik will walk you through the design and construction of his textured wall hanging whiskey cabinet. The class will cover the ever important topic of grain selection and discuss what joinery is most appropriate—housed stub tenon, floating tenons, or sliding dovetails, for example—using a combination of simple machinery and hand tools. And of course we will cover how to compose and power carve a cabinet door. Finally, Erik will discuss his various finishing techniques and what makes the most sense in a professional shop as well as your home shop. Students will leave with both a beautiful cabinet for their favorite whiskey AND the confidence and necessary skills to take on a project of this caliber in their own shop!
