What you will learn: Chairmaking is considered to be the holy grail of woodworking. Chairs can be the most challenging and rewarding form of furniture and we'll help you build your own. Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who has been dabbling in basic carpentry and wants to pick up advanced skills, you will successfully build a solid Teak Wood chair under our guidance in this course. In this 6-day course, we will share our knowledge of design processes, comfort, structure, and construction methods. Techniques taught include wood selection, joinery design, working with templates and jigs, finishing, and oiling. The material will be procured for you from our local sawmill and if you want you may accompany us when we place an order for a first hand experience of buying Teak.
