At the March Saturday class, Paul will share the successes, challenges, and lessons learned while building a Bahama‑style shutter for his front porch. His presentation walks through the full process - from initial planning to final installation - highlighting both the intentional design choices and the unexpected discoveries that shaped the project.

Paul will discuss the tools and equipment he used, the milling techniques required to prepare the lumber, and the practical considerations that influenced each step of the build. He’ll also explain what a Bahama shutter is, how it functions, and why it’s a compelling project for woodworkers interested in functional outdoor pieces.

Topics include:

  • What a Bahama shutter is and how it’s used
  • Design considerations and cost factors
  • Jig construction and milling techniques
  • Finishing approaches
  • Installation tips and takeaways

This session offers a clear, experience‑based look at building a Bahama shutter and will be valuable for anyone curious about outdoor woodworking projects or looking to take on a similar build.
