This is a hands-on class in which students will learn to make a multi-glue up cutting board. The design can be end grain, side grain, or face grain with complex cuts and cutouts. During the three, four hour class sessions, students will mill the wood from raw boards, glue up the boards for drying between classes, watch demonstrations of the milling and shaping steps, and then work on their own boards. Students will get hands-on practice with the table saw, planer, router, band saw (optional), disk, belt, and spindle sanders, and router table (optional) to shape their cutting board.

The goal is to have a rough cutting board drying overnight and a finished cutting board to take home at the end of class. In some cases, final sanding and application of mineral oil finish will be done at home. In exceptional cases where more shop time is needed for use of power tools, we will try to accommodate students with a shop session when they can use the shop to finish up their board.

Wood and supplies will be provided. Students - bring your own Personal Protective Equipment.
