    Have you ever wondered how a Shaker oval box is made? Are you curious about the processes used to make these traditional containers? If so, then be sure to join Dale McLoud, owner of McLoud Joinery and a lifelong woodworker, as he demonstrates the techniques and tools used to make these notable boxes. McLoud will also recount information on some of the nineteenth-century Shaker woodworkers who produced a range of finely crafted functional objects for this intriguing communal religion that upholds ideals of simplicity and perfection in every aspect of it members’ lives.  Two demonstrations both held in the Turner Courtyard (weather permitting).
