WDWK 2405 Intermediate Woodworking

In this class students learn additional techniques in the woodworking area. It is the second course in a sequence of courses that allows students to refine skills required to build quality furniture. Students get hands-on experience with dovetail joinery. The table drawers are made using dovetails to attach the front of the drawers to the sides of the drawers.

Students provide their own hardwood. This way they gain experience in choosing and buying hardwood and they can control the appearance of the finished product (different woods and stains can give a wide variety of finishes, as the photos of finished tables show).

Hardwood costs vary depending on the wood. The table uses about 19 board feet of wood. Approximate board foot cost of various hardwood:

  • Poplar - approximately $2.00 per board foot
  • Alder - approximately $3.00 per board foot
  • Walnut - approximately $6.75 per board foot
