On the second day, the participants' work will be featured as part of the annual Antique Tool Show and Sale. Donation for this workshop is being determined. With basic skills in hand and one's own shaving horse, the test of the woodworker will be making a ladder back chair. The skills learned to make a ladder back chair include weaving a hickory split seat. Participants may need to supply some of their own tools.
All workshops require reservations.
