Federal Furniture Demonstration with Bob Van Dyke

Join us on the Paca Terrace and meet furniture maker Bob Van Dyke. Visitors will learn about Federal period furniture with a focus on Annapolis cabinet maker, John Shaw.

Bob will demonstrate some of the techniques used to create basic inlays. As Director of the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking and a Contributing Editor for Fine Woodworking Magazine, Bob has been hooked on Federal inlay styles for years! The “magnolia” paterae that was frequently used by John Shaw and will be a part of this unique demonstration.
