David Ray Pine making a walnut spice cupboard cabinet with workbench and antique hand tools

Spend five days building a fine walnut cupboard with master craftsman David Ray Pine. Students will learn how to use traditional hand tools to build the dovetailed case, shelf, face frame, raised panel door, built-up mouldings, and case back. They will also learn how to fit the door to the case, and add antique-style hardware and door lock. This class will load you up with a large set of hand tool woodworking skills!
