Summer Youth: Wood Wallets & More (Ages 12-16)

Turn pieces of wood into a wallet or card holder with a hinged cover, a cell phone amplifier, and one or two other clever things, depending on the pace of the class.

The wallet design is based on one the instructor received as a gift, which consistently draws comments when he pulls it out to get one of the business cards he stores inside. You will cut and smooth strips of wood in contrasting colors, glue them into the basic shape, and then use a variety of tools to give the wallet its final shape. Building the cell phone amplifier will introduce you to the acoustic properties of wood and some of the basics of wood joinery.
