As promised, here are the almost-finished carved and joined oak boxes, with pine lids and bottoms. One person has to leave early – the rest will stay a bit late to finish the wooden pintle hinges – you can see one hanging down on the top box – before we clean up and head home.
No one in this class had done any kind of pattern carving before walking through the door on Monday morning – I think the results speak to Peter Follansbee‘s genius at teaching.
It’s no surprise that everyone looks happy and proud – they should!
