Woodcraft Store
Jewelry Box with Veneer by Paul Schürch in 2-days

This class is an instructional hands-on two day workshop and one evening lecture that covers the fundamentals of making a 8 “ x 14” x 4” customized solid wood jewelry box with a decoratively veneered top with master furniture maker Paul Schürch. Paul will cover many of the design aspects and challenges of combining solid wood with veneer and each student should be able to compete a fine exotic wood box with a veneer, parquetry or veneer pattern on the top lid. The first day will be dedicated to finalizing the box design, selecting veneers and hardwoods and creating the decorative veneer work using a variety of hand and machine tools. The class will progress onto the pattern assembly and gluing up the veneer panel, after which the solid wood will be selected and milled until joint work is done. The second day will be dedicated to sanding and finishing the veneer work, constructing the lid that will house the panel, fitting and sanding the box components, gluing the box together, and assembling it all by the end of the second day. The class is relatively fast paced and each student should have some basic table saw and joiner experience to complete this project. If there is enough time on the second day, final finishing of the box can be done. This should be an exciting and informative class and will be full of tips, techniques and ideas that you can take home with you and apply to later projects. Class size is limited to ten people and you should supply your own tools veneer and supplies from the list provided. Paul recommends that each student to view his book and DVD on ‘Decorative Veneering’ prior to the class, since the better prepared you are, the more you will benefit from this great class.
