NEW !
Greene and Greene Details II Workshop
(2 day workshop)

It's the details that make a Greene & Greene piece. With more G&G details in your bag of tricks you will be better prepared to tackle Greene and Greene projects. Details II will further explore and expand your Greene and Greene vocabulary.

We will make two pulls in the class:

  • Blacker Triple Bar Pull (lower right photo)
    • each student will take home a cnc jig for routing the bar cavities
  • Dowel and Block Pull (upper left photo)
    • this is a James Krenov pull that goes well with G&G designs
  • Drawer Fingers (photo lower left)
  • Base Fingers (upper right photo)
    • Using a table saw with a dado head we will make finger joints
      in two versions. The method covererd will allow you to easily
      produce accurate tight joints without having to change set-ups
      for different sizes of drawers.
  • Base Straps ( upper righ photo)
    • Base Straps were used by Greene & Greene on the Ford Living Room Letter Case. It's a great detail for adding visual weight to a piece
  • Ebony Plugs ( upper right & lower left photo)
    • Ebony Plugs are ubiquitous in Greene and Greene designs and are also covered in the Details I class

Come join us for two enjoyable days full of Greene and Greene woodworking!

Greene & Greene Details I Workshop
(2-day workshop)

My weekend workshop is a hands-on class for woodworkers. We will go step-by-step in the process of making the most common Greene and Greene details.
Everyone will build the sample piece shown here.
It's an informal atmosphere with a chance to talk woodworking and Greene and Greene. ( two of my favorite subjects!)
The class consists of about eight hours on Saturday (9-5) and about 6-8 hours on Sunday .

Topics covered in the class are:

  • Blacker brackets (seen in photos here)
  • breadboard construction
  • exposed ebony spline
  • proud ebony plugs
  • cloud lifts
  • leg indent detail
  • questions on anything I make


For the past 5 years I have really enjoyed hosting the G&G details class at my shop in Auburn WA. With my increased work load I have reluctantly decided not to schedule classes at my new shop in Seattle. I will however continue to offer my G&G details class at selected Woodworking Schools.
