"Making and fitting beautiful, hand-cut dovetailed drawers is one of the hallmarks of highly refined craftsmanship. This workshop focuses on the fine points of creating carefully made drawers that “whisper” open and close. Practicing methods of work that encourage consistency and quality, each participant makes a solid-wood drawer to fit an existing case using classic hand-cut dovetail construction. Craig covers pertinent topics such as case preparation, wood selection, milling, layout, sharpening and use of chisels, saws, planes, and other hand tools."
