| Steve Latta is a period furniture maker with decades of experience as a craftsman and a teacher. As someone who teaches traditional woodworking techniques to dozens of students a year, he’s also a fan of something he calls “sequencing.” At its core, sequencing represents a logical approach to building a piece of furniture. Well-thought-out strategies allow craftsmen to machine all of their joints (tenons, double-tenons, and even dovetails) at the same time, using the same initial machine set-ups. This ensures accuracy and boosts efficiency in the workshop. In the case of this Federal-style side table, a project built by his students every year, most of the joints are executed at the tablesaw. The underlying strategies can be applied to any project, regardless of the joinery or the style.
Steve will be a featured presenter at Fine Woodworking Live 2018, demonstrating his techniques for contemporary inlay. Floral patterns, animal forms, geometric patterns, or random designs are a few of the applications that this class will look at, as well as inlaid borders made with a pattern. Steve will start with the basic materials and techniques and then see where imagination takes the group. Register now to save $50 with our early bird rate! |
