Come join us at PFW with guest instructor Larissa Huff!

Create your own Spiral Sprout Box! This octagonal, lidded box is topped with a bundle of bentwood spirals and covers a range of techniques. During the class, we will cover box design and function, mitered joinery with some light geometry (it’s fun, I promise), and making a captured panel bottom and split lid. We will explore wood bending using a hot pipe, create tiny wedged tenons, and fine-tune the fit of the box components with hand tools. This small project is packed with an array of techniques and fun details to make it your own!

The boxes range from 3.5” to 5.5” tall not counting the height of the spirals.

It is preferred you have some experience with the table saw before taking this class.
