You've been asking for it, so here it is!
End Grain Cutting Board Workshop
Craft a stunning, heirloom-quality cutting board that’s as functional as it is beautiful. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and build your own end grain cutting board using a curated selection of premium hardwoods.
Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn techniques for cutting, glue-ups, clamping, sanding, and pattern design—transforming raw materials into a striking, custom piece perfect for your kitchen or as a gift.
This workshop is ideal for makers looking to expand their skills and create something truly unique.
Walk away with a one-of-a-kind cutting board, new woodworking skills, and the confidence to tackle future projects.
All materials are included—just bring your creativity!
**Please note that, because of the limited variety of tools and machines used for this project, participants in the cutting board workshop do not qualify for a one-month conditional membership. For the same reason, this workshop is not a substitute for the beginner/refresher/safety woodshop class, necessary for approval to work unsupervised in the woodshop.
