Cutting Board Class Winter 2018
This workshop is a great introduction to woodworking and to our shop facilities. Starting with a rough piece of lumber, students will transform it into a beautiful and functional cutting board while gaining hands-on experience with the full process of milling wood—from rough to refined.
Students will safely use a wide range of tools, including the chop saw, jointer, planer, band saw, drill press, router table (with a roundover bit), and sanders (standing belt sander, disc sander, and random orbital sanders). Along the way, we'll cover wood grain, orientation, and finishing techniques to help bring out the natural beauty of the material.
Whether you're brand new to woodworking or brushing up on your skills, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece and a solid foundation in machine work.
Open to all skill levels.
No Prerequisites.

"My friends often refer to me as the Black Martha Stewart, but I prefer to go by Shalon. I will co-sign on the fact that I am creative spirit, and I love a good material transformation, whether it's flour, sugar and butter, wood and metal, fabric and thread, or just a coat of paint...I love it all.
"Through personal projects and several humanitarian trips to the South to rebuild New Orleans and the surrounding areas after Hurricane Katrina, I've gained experience in building and developed an affinity for power tools."
