Originally designed as a method of concealing damp walls in 16th century England, raised panel wainscoting quickly gained popularity as a wall finish in both Europe and North America. Never intended to be a high style finish, it became a widespread application for the formal rooms of many houses. While currently available through many retailers in prefinished trim packages, many bespoke designed homes still require this applique to be created onsite by skilled crafts practitioners.This course will study the correct procedures for laying out and constructing raised panel wainscotting elements. Participants will be introduced to the tools needed to execute a raised panel finish, the processes of laying out and building raised panel elements, as well as the vocabulary commonly used for this construction process within the carpentry trade.
