About This Workshop

Just in time for the holidays with little time to spare. Jeff and Steve are offering an unparalleled class on building this one-of-a-kind miniature blanket chest/jewelry box. Miniature isn’t quite the correct term for this masterpiece nor is child size. All you need to know is the happiness it will bring to its upcoming owner. Historically miniature representation of classic American furniture brings exorbitant prices if they even exist. Students will learn the time true methods of fine furniture making from the first family of woodworking. The Headley family has made historically accurate pieces for such places as the White House, Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, plus many other museums across the country. Jeff and Steve, have so many traditional construction techniques to share including how to hand cut and fit case dovetails that will house two dovetailed removable trays, building ogee bracket feet plus there are two exposed dovetailed drawers which add another feature to the beauty of this chest. Even though this piece is small, it will have a large impact on improving your construction abilities.
