Braiding

Michael Burns, director of the CR fine woodworking program, demonstrates stiletre style braiding. Angel (just to Michael's left) is building a jewelry box out of a beautiful, curly maple and will use the braid to secure the lid to the box so that it doesn't flop open. 

It's an exciting time in the shop. Break is less than a week away, and many students are close to finishing their first projects. What were once pieces of wood and a little vision are now cabinets, chairs, tables and boxes. Check back soon for pictures of two more wall cabinets that students have just finished.
