Program

Our guest speaker for September will be Gregory Finn.
"My name is Gregory Finn, I am a woodworker from Fairfax, CA. I recently finished two years at the Krenov School of Fine Woodworking in Fort Bragg, CA!"
"I’m presenting a box I made in my second and final year at the Krenov School. The construction incorporates multiple techniques that are vital to making curved work, specifically compound curves in both solid and veneer work. In addition to the curves, this project was also a gauntlet of both drawer fitting and dovetailing, with over 262 dovetail pins in the entire box."

Program

For our August meeting we're very excited to be collaborating with Diablo Woodworkers to bring you Brian Boggs!
Since Brian is on the east coast and joining us by Zoom, we will be starting the meeting at 4:00.
Don't miss it!

Brian Boggs is a furniture designer, chairmaker, and educator whose work has been shaped by more than forty years of close attention to wood, tools, structure, and the human body. Through his furniture, teaching, and writing, he invites makers to look beyond technique and examine the decisions, values, and questions that give a design its character.

Brian Boggs: A Design Language
Why make it in the first place? What must it do? How should it be made? What will it cost? In this presentation, Brian will explore how the way we approach these familiar questions can determine everything that follows in the design process. Rather than offering a demonstration or a formula, he will challenge attendees to think more deeply and broadly about their design decisions, their assumptions, and their own role as a designer.
