Chris Becksvoort, left, of New Gloucester shows students in Helga Hyke’s fine arts class and Rick Hulbert’s wood tech class how to make dovetail joints Tuesday at Livermore Falls High School. Becksvoort started making furniture at age 12 with his dad and hated it. He has since come to love the craft and has 48 years of experience making furniture, including his signature Shaker-style pieces.
