Rough Lumber to Cutting Boards

$420.00

Details Fee Breakdown:
Tuition: $355
Material Fee: $65

Make your own custom cutting boards while learning the ins and outs of woodworking equipment! We will start with rough lumber and learn to dimension wood using the jointer, planer, tablesaw, and bandsaw. All are welcome in this class, which is meant to provide an introduction on how to safely operate woodworking machinery to mill wood. We will also cover how wood “works,” glue-up procedures, and how to properly sand & finish wood for use in the kitchen. The shape and style of your cutting boards will be up to you–and you’ll be encouraged to get creative by adding a little color or texture!
