Elegant Cutting & Charcuterie Board — Hands-On Woodworking Class

Create a high-end cutting, serving, and charcuterie board that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

In this immersive, one-day hands-on woodworking class, you’ll work with premium-quality hardwoods to craft a refined board featuring a striking chevron pattern with a dimensional, eye-catching design.

This piece is designed to do double duty — perfect for everyday use and as a serving board for meats, cheeses, and entertaining. It’s the kind of piece that becomes the centerpiece of a gathering and naturally gets noticed and complimented.

You’ll have the option to add side handles for easy serving and presentation, or keep the design clean and minimal for a sleek, modern look.

Each board is finished with a food-safe protective oil, leaving you with a professional-quality piece you’ll be proud to use, display, or gift.

What you’ll learn:

• Edge gluing
• Jointing and planing
• Router use
• Template routing
• Sanding and finishing
