Learn the fundamentals of woodworking while creating a beautiful, functional cutting board you can take home and enjoy for years to come. You'll work with cherry and maple wood!
In this hands-on class, you'll mill and prepare hardwoods on the jointer and planer, rip boards to width on the table saw, and glue up your design using bar clamps.
From there, you'll shape and refine your board with a router and sander, working your way through the grits for a smooth finish. We'll wrap up by applying a food-safe oil finish that brings out the natural grain and gets your board ready for the kitchen.
Along the way, you'll build practical skills that go far beyond the cutting board itself: safe machine operation, wood selection, clamping and glue-up technique, and sanding and finishing fundamentals. These building blocks of woodworking you'll carry into future projects.
By the end of class, you'll walk out with a one-of-a-kind cutting board made entirely by your own hands, and a genuine introduction to the craft of woodworking.
