Wood Products Students Build Shaker Tables
Students in SUN Tech’s Advanced Wood Products Manufacturing program are working on building Shaker-style end tables. The Shaker style was developed by a religious group by the same name during the late 17th century and is known for it’s simplicity, joinery, and functionality. The students utilize a variety of skills in this project including estimating, making a cut list, dovetail and mortise and tenon joinery, and cutting tapered legs.
