WHAT WOOD IS IT AND WHY?
Seeing and understanding wood in a whole new way.
October 28-29, 2017
Did you ever look at a piece of wood and wonder what wood it is? And why it
looks the way it does? Were you ever confused about which wood it is:
mahogany, walnut, cherry, or poplar?
This two-day hands-on workshop will answer all these questions and more. It
is designed specifically for curators, collectors, antique dealers,
appraisers, and woodworkers. The goal of this workshop is to familiarize
the student with the physical properties of wood and recognize species
specific structures. No experience is necessary.
This class will fill quickly, so sign up soon at
