In Darrell's words:

"My weekend workshop is a hands-on class for woodworkers. We will go step-by-step in the process of making the most common Greene and Greene details.

Everyone will build the sample piece shown here.

It's an informal atmosphere with a chance to talk woodworking and Greene and Greene. (Two of my favorite subjects!)"

Topics covered in the class are:

• Blacker brackets (seen in photo)
• Breadboard construction
• Exposed ebony spline
• Proud ebony plugs
