Carving and Woodworking Classes

Custom Made Furniture  

     Antique Furniture and Architectural Repairs
 


Background
George Slack started his wood working and carving career at the age of twelve. His professional woodworking career began in earnest in 1980.  By 1987 he began specializing in building and repairing high style 18th Century American furniture.



Teaching
 
A new series of carving and furniture classes for beginner and intermediate level woodworkers are offered once a year.  The beginner level classes intentionally have a small number of students to give each student considerable individual attention while learning basic carving.  Other small furniture projects are offered using primarily hand tools to develop skills needed to ensure success in advancing to the more advanced furniture classes. One on one classes are also offered.

The photographs displayed below are examples of past advanced furniture classes that have been successfully completed by students who have taken the classes.  The Newport Kneehole desk completed by one of Mr. Slack's students was featured in gallery section of the April 2006 issue Fine of Woodworking.
