9050. Upholstered Bench
Class - Wood | Available
Add a softer side to your furniture making with this upholstered bench project. Starting with a basic framework of mortise and tenon joinery, you'll add details such as tapered legs and the fabric of your choice to suit your aesthetic. The class will cover the use of mortising machines and the router table to cut the joinery, slip seat upholstery and much more over the course of 7 weeks. In that time, you'll build a simple, elegant bench that fits perfectly in a bedroom or hallway. Prior woodworking experience is required.
