The following is a list of courses presently offered by The Dogwood Institute School of Fine Woodworking. Each course is two, three or five days long depending on the content. The Foundations For Fine Woodworking Series is very popular for beginners as it “walks the participant” through five two-day classes offered at various times throughout the year. The individual may select each class and progresses at his or her own pace according to their comfort level and personal schedules. For the participant that wishes to take the classes in a concentrated timeframe, we are now offering Foundations 101, whereby, it is possible to take Foundations 1, 2 and 3 all within the same week. This is particularly popular for those individuals coming from a distance and wanting to concentrate the Foundations classes. Foundations 201 also, consolidate Foundations 4 and 5 into one week as well. This way, participants have more flexibility. Please note: Foundations 1, 2 & 3 must be taken in sequence and no matter what your experience or skill level this sequence must be followed. Foundations 4 and 5 may be taken interchangeably, however, must follow taking Foundations 1, 2 & 3. Other classes include wood turning, marquetry, building a shaker table,making a night stand, Jewelry box, making shopmade jigs, as well as, turningChristmas ornaments.

These are called Application Courses. In the Foundations Series, a participant learns how to design, build and finish a piece of furniture, however, if you would like to add or enhance a design such as a turned leg, or add a carving to a headboard or create a chess board into a table top, these courses teach the participant how to do just that. NOTE: Participants do not have to be enrolled or have taken the Foundations Series to enroll in one or more of these courses. Introduction to Woodturning Introduction to Marquetry Introduction to Veneering Other classes on will be added in the near future. PROJECT CLASSES: The Dogwood Institute will be offering many project courses in the future. At present, because of the space limitations, we are limited to the amount of courses we offer. Please check back from time to time for updates. MISCELLANEOUS COURSES: We are happy to add several new courses that are not necessarily fine woodworking, however, enhance the skill level of the participant in preparing them for performing various techniques. These courses vary in subject matter and content, however, are very rewarding for advancing skills.
