Rustic Stick Furniture

Woodworking & Furniture Craft

Keith Anderson

Just right for the cabin - handcrafted rustic furniture made from natural materials at the cabin doorstep. Unlock the construction techniques of mortise and tenon joinery to assemble rustic furniture of your very own design from greenwood 'sticks.' Depending on size and details, potential projects to select from include such things as chairs and benches, trellises, tables, and lamps. If you ever enjoyed working with Tinker Toys as a kid you will enjoy building rustic stick furniture in full scale. At the completion of the course, you will go home with handsome additions to your home and/or garden.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
