Travels with LiLi

Woodworking in Maine In her travels to various woodworking schools, Woodworker's Journal roving correspondent LiU Jackson lias explored a variety of aspects of woodworking. Her trip to the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, she said, gave her a chance to put many of those skills together.

Her class on sculptural clocks, taught by Carter Sio, employed techniques of developing a plan, joinery and surtace decoration. She also used a Dremel tool, creating a raised surface in cherry wood for one clock, as well as using the tool to soften the rough edges of copper clock hands she made.

While making a small )iit functional object like a clock, LiLi said, the class members were encouraged to experiment with different techniques, "because it's

a small object, so you haven't invested as much resources of time and money."

While LiLi's class was a short four days, the other class taking place during her visit was a two-week tutorial on beginning cabiiietuiakiug, taught by executive director and school founder Peter Korn. Even more intensive courses in woodworking are offered in 12-week and nine-nonth sessions at the r .iral Maine location —

CFC has two chssrcnms plus nnp workshop for creat ng various woodworking projects.

WJ's LiLi Jackson showed oft her sculptral clcck to Peter Korn, executive director of the Center tor Furniture Craftsmanship In Bockport, Maiie.
