Reproducing Architectural Elements
This demonstration will show the process to replicate turned elements in historical restoration projects. The same technique can also be applied to repair and restore furniture that has turned elements in its construction. Participants will learn how to take an old turning that is rotted, broken or missing original detail and create a working drawing and a prototype turning. This demonstration provides hands-on advice about choosing appropriate materials, pricing and production techniques.
