Make a Pie Crust Table with Will Neptune

This exciting new class with Will Neptune promises to challenge your woodworking skills and will give you plenty of opportunity to learn some great techniques from one of this country’s leading craftsmen and teachers. The eighteenth century Chippendale style tilt-top pie crust table is a small (18” diameter) project that utilizes plenty of different skills and techniques. A wide range of carvings on the turned column are possible and include spirals, “pea & sausage” and gadrooning while the traditional pie crust carving along the edge of the top offers a variety of coves and beads in every possible grain direction. The tripod legs feature the traditional cabriole shape ending in a carved “snake foot”. The turning of the central column will be demonstrated in class but the actual turned column will be provided as part of the material charge (unless you are a proficient turner and want to do your own turning at home). Dovetailed legs joined into the central column and a wooden hinge mechanism for the tilting top are among the technical problems that you will solve with Will. The unique format of this class (one weekend per month for four months) allows you plenty of time for “homework” while giving you a full eight days of actual class time instruction. Don’t wait too long to sign up for this great class as space is limited. Tuition: $895.00 plus materials.
