North Bennet Street School Projects

 

The North Bennet Street School has been a leading school in craftsmanship for over 125 years. The programs include Carpentry, Preservation Caprentry, Locksmithing, Bookbinding, Violin Making and Repair, Cabinet and Furniture Making, and Piano Technology.

 

I am attending the Cabinet and Furniture Making program, and I created this page to show some projects I have completed at school. My instructors are award-winning furniture makers, frequent contributors to Fine Woodworking magazine, and have their work on display in a number of museums. Lance was called the “Dean of Period Furniture” by Woodwork Magazine. http://www.woodwork-magazine.com/index.php/archives/495

 

 

This Nightstand was the first furniture project at NBSS.  The base is mortise and tenoned poplar, coated with red, and then black milk paint, oil, and wax.  The top and drawerfront are cherry with French-polished shellac and wax.  $775 - with Cherry, Maple, or walnut primary wood.  Also available in all primary wood, or all painted.

 

The North Bennet Street School toolbox is such a legendary project that I have dedicated a separate page to it.

 

This Brettstuhl was commissioned by the North Bennet Street School.  It is permanently on display in the admissions office
