About This Masterclass

Welcome to the Bicycle Frame Veneering Masterclass.

This masterclass teaches you how to transform an ordinary bicycle frame into a unique work of art using real wood veneer. You'll learn the complete process I use in my own workshop, from preparing the frame to applying the final protective finish.

Whether you're an experienced maker or trying bicycle frame veneering for the first time, these lessons are designed to improve your skills and give you the confidence to complete your own veneered bicycle frame.

This masterclass includes 2 complete video lessons.
