This is an opportunity to live on site, at the
Beechtree Inn, experience the ambiance of southern country living,
eating, learning the traditional techniques of furniture making and
taking home an heirloom. People all at skill levels have benefited
from these classes.
.Week long classes start Monday morning at 8am and students work until 6pm with an hour break at lunch. The Hobbses provide lunch and coffee and sodas during the day. All tools and instructions are provided to complete the building. By the end of the week, the project is ready to stain and finish. Students at all skill levels do well with the Pencil Post Bed, Breakfast Table, Dovetailed Box and the Bedside Table. Other projects are for the more advanced students. A $300 non-refundable deposit and availability is required to sign up. Classes are very small with 6 or less students.
