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.
