We are pleased to announce George Walker as an addition to the Woodworking in America: Furniture Construction and Design Conference (Aug. 14-16 in St. Charles, Ill.). George’s session, “Unlocking the Secrets of Traditional Design,” will be at 6 p.m. on Friday. (That’s also the title of his excellent new DVD from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks; you can read a review of it here.)
At this session, you’ll discover how period woodworkers easily sized door frames, table aprons, crown mouldings and more, with proportions based on architecture, and how these time-tested principles still apply to both modern and traditional work. You’ll learn the fundamentals of proportions, forms and the classic orders. You’ll pick up practical skills to help you unravel the design behind a great piece of furniture. Mastering proportions will unlock your creativity and increase your design confidence.
Plus, George will be set up for at least a couple hours every day of the conference to demonstrate his methods, answer questions and more.
