OUR HISTORY
The organization was founded by Luke Barnett and Dena Koehn. Luke is a professional chairmaker, who
has won many awards and exhibited his work in galleries all over the world. Barnett won “Top
craftsman in North America” from the Directory of Traditional American Crafts and Early American Life
Magazine in 2015, 2016, and 2017. He won “Best Project” in the seating category through Popular
Woodworking Magazine in 2016 and 2017. Barnett also had one of his handmade Birdcage Rocking
Chairs selected to be a part of a traveling Smithsonian Exhibit in 2016. Mr. Barnett is a member of the
Adrian Noon Rotary Club and was awarded “Rotarian of the Year 2020” and “Outstanding Honors
2018-2019” for his devotion to the Woodworking for Warriors Program. He was also selected to be a
guest speaker at the International Woodworking Fair in 2018 and 2020. Barnett is also an Accredited
Skills Evaluator (ASE) through the Woodworking Career Alliance of North America. Currently, Barnett is
a Finalist for “Top Young Woodworking Professional in the World” through The Woodworking Network
for 2021.
Koehn is a graduate of Adrian College with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Studio Art as well as a
Bachelor’s of Art in English with a focus on writing.
Barnett started teaching around the country in 2014 and locally with the Adrian Center for the Arts in
2015. The classes gained popularity and in 2015 the City of Adrian approached the duo with an
opportunity to take over an old power plant that had been vacant. That is where the Sam Beauford
Woodworking Institute found its start. In early 2017 they formed the organization, “the Sam Beauford
Woodshop” now called the “Sam Beauford Woodwoodworking Institute” where they donated all the
equipment and tools that they had accumulated and formed a board of 3 people.
SBWI has grown at a very fast pace. We now have a board of eleven members and three staff members
on the payroll. We also have over twelve different contract instructors that teach different classes
throughout the year as well as around the world. Mr. Barnett is now a full-time employee of the school
and works with other artists from all over Michigan with an overall goal of teaching the craft of
woodworking to as many people as possible.
Fun Fact: Sam Beauford is
the name of the beloved
dog (pictured here) owned
by Luke from the very
beginning of his career as a
Chairmaker!

MARQUETRY
In this class, the students will learn to work with veneer and use it to create artful panels. After
an introductory day learning veneering fundamentals, there will be two days learning
geometric marquetry. This involves using templates and a knife to make crisp patterns, similar
to those in stained glass or quilting. We will use those techniques to make a marquetry lid for
a solid wood box where the other box parts will be provided. There will also be two days
learning the Boulle technique, where packets of veneer are cut using a scroll saw, then flowing
organic pictures created from the pieces cut. All of the steps required to complete the
projects will be covered - selecting veneers, making templates, creating the art, preparing
substrates, assembling the pictures, gluing them up, preparing them for finish, and then
finishing them. The focus will be on technique but there will be a discussion of the artistic
aspects of the craft.
Assessment of Learning:
At the end of the class, the students will have
prepared a book-matched framed panel,
suitable for use in a carcass, a wooden box
with a complex marquetry lid, and 6-8 floral
marquetry pictures suitable for box lids or as
wall art. They will also know how to address
the major issues associated with veneering
for use in furniture. A custom-written course
book will also be provided that summarizes
the material covered, to remind students
later of what they learned.

The combination of the craft revival movement with playful new organic shapes from danish and American designers alike birthed some of the most iconic pieces of furniture that became the new heirlooms of tomorrow. In this course, we will explore mid-century design as students build their own lounge chair complete with upholstered cushions. Over 5 days, instructor Kyle Huntoon will begin by guiding students as we select lumber for clarity and grain. We will shape the frames using hand tools, and router jigs, and create joinery for the chair using traditional and modern techniques. In the final steps, we will weave the webbed strapping that gives our chairs that extra comfort and discuss the next steps for making our own upholstered cushions (or sourcing from your local upholstery shop). 850.00 5 days, Monday - Friday December 6th - 10th, 2021 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Course Learning Outcomes: Discuss and become familiar with chair joinery Develop a construction plan and cut list using multiple machining processes Create templates for construction Employ floating tenon joinery Edge profiling Discussion and application of hand-rubbed finishes Longlivewood.org 36

Stereotomy
This course employs working drawings to design and construct structures both simple and complex. It is an
empirically-based method that has been used for millennia in the design and construction of European
cathedrals, fortresses, castles, including historically classified UNESCO world heritage monuments such as
the Chartres Cathedral. Students of practical stereotomy become knowledgeable through hands-on
experience of a process that makes the most complex designs very manageable. In truth, the experience
of this approach not only provides students with new skills and enhances those they already possess, but
transforms them profoundly. They begin not only to do things differently and think differently but also to see
differently.
Double Curved Stereotomy
In this course, students will build a complex, yet manageable, awning design for over a doorway or
window. The design consists of three-dimensionally curved pieces, known in carpentry as double-curvature
work. The student will create brackets with curved braces to support the awning. Figuring how to cut real
lengths, angles, and curves of each piece will involve the process of drawing. Students will learn to use the
visuospatial part of their brain, the group of cognitive functions that analyzes and understands space to
solve these complexities. Students will use mental imagery and navigation to process and rotate 2D and 3D
objects in their minds. The visuospatial construction process enables craftsmen to reproduce drawings or
use components to construct objects and shapes. Visuospatial functions represent the brain's highest level
of visual processing. The use of stereotomy transforms the work as well as the worker. With support and
supervision from our expert Instructor Patrick Moore, students will think, reflect, and learn to envision
differently.

Enrollment & Attendance
Our enrollment process is a simple registration form, to reserve a student's place in a course located on
our website. However, payment is required prior to the class and must be fulfilled in order to keep a
student's reservation. For more on tuition and fees see "Tuition, Supplies & Fees" below. Enrollment in the
Diploma Program is the result of acceptance after an application has been received and an interview
with the Executive Administration has been conducted. Payment is required prior to the beginning of the
school year unless a student has requested and been approved to be on a payment plan.
Non Discrimination Policy
The SBWI admits students without regard for religion, sex, sexual orientation, sexual preference, gender
identity and expression, age, race, color, disability, national and ethnic origin, military or veteran status,
or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law, and all students enjoy
the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available at the school.
Refund Policy
If the student terminates their enrollment in a course at least 7 days before the first day of class, all funds
are completely refunded to the student. After you are within 7 days of the course the SBWI cannot refund
students due to materials already having been purchased, seat reservation in class, and paying instructor
wages. Payment is mandatory before students can attend any classes or long-term courses at the SBWI. If
for any reason necessary the SBWI cancels a course students will have the option for a full refund or the
option to apply the tuition fee towards a future class.
Assessment of Learning, Standards & Progress
The SBWI does not assign letter grades to our coursework. Students' learning is assessed by instructors at
the end of the course by reviewing their final products. Classes are paced to complete projects and
students will be granted extra assistance if necessary. Our staff is here to help students learn new skills
and develop these over time. The Diploma Program grading scale is conducted on a 4.0 system where
students are graded on each project completed throughout each semester and they will receive a final
GPA at the end of each semester. Failure is based on attendance to class times, completion of projects,
and the minimum number of studio hours being met. If a student misses over three days of class time and
does not complete the studio hours they are subject to failing the course. Grades will be conducted by the
instructor and emailed to each student upon completion of each semester.
Behavior Policy & Conditions for Dismissal
Students are expected to behave in a mature, courteous, and considerate fashion at all times. Safety is
the principal concern of everyone in the school community. If a student fails to meet safety requirements
or behaves inappropriately, suspension of activities for this student for an amount of time determined by
the Board of Directors will commence or termination of the student's access to the facilities may result.
42SBWI RULES & POLICIES
Tuition, Supplies & Fees
Tuition must be paid in full before the date/time of the course. Failure to do so will result in the student
being denied access to the facilities to participate and asked to reschedule to another course date later
on. Tuition covers all supplies necessary for courses but students are allowed to bring their own tools if they
wish. Financial assistance is offered for Youth Programming and is determined by the Board of Directors
through communications with families based on the financial need and determination of funds for the
course. There are no extra fees associated with the use of the SBWI facilities or equipment. All costs are
covered in student tuition that is assigned to each course.
Facilities & Equipment
We are located on the 55-acre wooded PlaneWave campus that serves as an entrance to the City of
Adrian. Our facilities include workshops and classrooms that provide the bench space, equipment, and
machinery necessary for the highest quality instruction in each program. Our on-site administrative office
is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm.
Previous Experience & Credit Policy
At the SBWI we rely on a more natural lecture and hands-on learning experience instead of on individual
credit classes, so a transfer of prior credit is usually not applicable. Prior experience is welcomed, as are
all levels of experience. No prior experience is required as we offer beginner courses to teach the basics
and prepare students for more intensive courses, later on, should they so choose to take them.
