SUMMARY:Make a John Surlis Leitrim Chair
DESCRIPTION:The Leitrim Chair is a traditional Irish Hedge Chair last produced by John Surlis in the 1980s. John was a skilled carpenter who mastered a craft that had been in his family for 400 years\, distinctly traceable for 6 generations. \nIn this 4 day workshop\, Stephen Ryan from Green Woodwork Ireland will teach participants the skills needed to produce their own Leitrim Chair using the same traditional techniques as John used during his life. \nParticipants will use traditional tools and equipment to cleave and shape wood that will then be assembled using round mortise and tenons secured with Oak wedges\, typical of old Irish furniture\, completed with a finish of linseed oil and beeswax. \nThis course is suited to all levels including complete beginners.
