Monday-Wednesday 16-18 Septeber

We identified the various parts of a board using our benches as examples. We also identified the "Ray Fleck" in quarter sawn boards on the bench.

We talked about how ray fleck is an important design element in Arts and Crafts and Mission style furniture like this piece:
