Timber Carving: Classic Posts for the Northern Home
Course Overview
A decoratively carved timber with a hand-hewn look is a classic signature of the northern home. In this course, you’ll choose from two design templates to carve a white pine timber suitable for a door entry beam. Using chisels, gouges and other hand tools, you’ll complete one face of an 8 foot long 6"x6" or 8"x8" timber in two days. Creative embellishments are encouraged as time allows. Options for finishing timbers will be discussed. Your hard work will produce a family heirloom that will be treasured for years to come. Due to the physical nature of carving, we encourage you to bring a partner to share the load.
