If western NC is eastern enough, I wold second this recommendation. My
wife and I did a weekend course there this past year and are in the
process of deciding which week long classes we want this year. I did
the shaker box class and would like to do one of the chair classes but
they are hard to get into.

Working on a wooden boat is also a great way to learn woodworking. Huge
challenges and tight tolerances.

I haven't been to those places but I heartily recommend Ernie Conover's
workshops in both lathe work and hand and machine tool projects.

Requires astounding skill in small boats and even more in larger boats.
Woodenbot Schools in Brooklin, ME is one of the best in the U.S.
www.woodenboat.com will take you to Woodenboat magazine with a link to the
schools. Great place, wonderful site, fantastic people.
I've watched the courses and read the magazine, but have no real connection
with the company--my kid sister used to work for them, but she died some years
ago: part of my great feeling for Woodenboat is the way the company and the
people treated Donna while she was going through her cancer experience.

Check out www.heartwoodschool.com. They mostly concentrate on timber
framing and housebuilding, but give some week-long basic woodworking and
furniture making courses, taught by a local craftsman.
I took their furniture making course a few years back. We made the
traditional first furniture project; a taper-leg shaker table in maple.
Registration was limited to 6 people. Cost was about $500 for the week.
Techniques were a mix of machine and handwork. We started with a rough
maple slab, layed out parts to waste as little material as possible,
milled the lumber with jointer and planer, and used radial arm saw,
table saw, bandsaw, and miter saw to cut the parts. Mortises and
dovetails were hand cut. We used chisels and handplanes and hand saws.
We even learned how to sharpen a chisel. The top was a glued-up panel
with pinned breadboard ends. In short, we touched on many of the major
skills in making furniture.
