Has anyone here taken the Dunbar Windsor chair class?

I've been interested in taking one of these classes for some time.
Has anyone here been through one? Could you make a chair "at home"
after you got through the class?

Also - are the chairs finished in the class? If so, do they use
milk paint?


Mike Dunbar's books seem to be going for $200-250 per copy and the
class is only $650. I could take a class and come home with a chair
for the cost of three of his books!

Wow. A bit insane, but I guess out-of-print is out-of-print. Off to
figure out how much Amazon skims on this deal...
