Tom Dolese is a long-time respected furniture maker and designer, as well as an NCWA club member and advocate for the club, encouraging many woodworkers to join. Along with his wife Jennifer, he runs Terra Firma Designs, and has taught furniture building classes for years.

As a teacher, he is frequently surprised by the lack of student knowledge concerning initial wood preparation and processing. How a piece of rough sawn lumber is readied for the building process.

Tom will discuss his techniques of sizing, flattening, and truing up rough-milled lumber. His methods are tried and true, and are sure to be helpful to our less experienced, and newer woodworking members. Our more experienced members will hopefully find Tom’s techniques and reasoning on the subject a chance for good review.

This will be an excellent opportunity to interact with, and ask an expert a broad range of questions on woodworking principles.
