Inside Passage School of Fine Cabinetmaking, 2019

Known as Vidar’s chair, this third-term project at the school offers a lesson in grain graphics and joinery. “The joinery becomes progressively harder as we work through the chair construction, culminating in a compound angled mortise and tenon on a curve.” Now Torrie is working on two more chairs, this time built of narra and made in his own shop.

FWW Live Gallery

When the pandemic forced the cancellation of Fine Woodworking Live 2020, these promising furniture makers from woodworking schools around the country were set to be featured in the event’s gallery. It’s a shame you won’t get to see these pieces in person, but here they are in print. We were impressed, and hope you’ll be, too.
