Heartwood School: Scribing II - Bubble Scribing

In the “Scribing II: Bubble Scribing" course, we will focus on building students’ experience and confidence in the development and cutting of the coped mortise-and-tenon joint in round, or wild, timber. Following on techniques introduced in “Fundamentals of Scribing,” this course will emphasize visualization of joinery, a critical skill for achieving the desired results, and efficient cutting strategies, including safe use of the chainsaw and other power tools. We will also discuss the merits and limitations of other approaches to working with wild timber, including laser lofting, laser scribing, and mitered joinery. Students will have the opportunity to learn about and practice the subtleties of scribing posts to foundation stones, a perennial favorite. Though not strictly required, completion of the “Fundamentals of Scribing” course, or equivalent practice with scribing, and prior experience in chainsaw use will help maximize each student’s learning during this course. 

Instructors: Adam Miller and Rob Morphet
