The last week of July 2020, I’ll be teaching a project-based class titled Danish Cord Bench for Two at Philadelphia Furniture Workshop.  The white ash bench is a terrific furniture project that combines woodworking and joinery skills with versatile “laced” Danish cord weaving techniques creating a strong, comfortable, and interesting bench. It’s a 5-day class that takes students through the process of making the bench itself and then weaving the seat. This is a fun, satisfying project that covers a wide range of strong foundation skills as well as the sequence of steps needed to create the seat.

The bench is joined using mortise and tenon joinery and wedged through tenon on the lower stretchers. Participants will focus on accurately laying out and executing the mortise and tenon joints, assembling the bench and finally working through the step-by-step process of weaving the seat.
