Hand Made Laminated Chopping Boards (July 16th and 23rd, 6:00 - 9:30 PM) with Tara Benjamin

A good quality, wood chopping or cutting board should be the mainstay of any modern kitchen. A wooden board is durable, antibacterial and something you'll cherish for years to come. Matt will teach you how to prepare the wood properly in order to make a beautiful chopping, cutting or serving board. The wood we'll be using in the course is locally sourced Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Oak. Participants will begin by learning how to joint, plane and join wood. These skills are transferable and applicable to countless other woodworking projects. On the second day, participants will work on shaping, sanding and finishing their hardwood boards and will all leave with a beautiful board made of mixed domestic species. All boards will be finished with a natural food-safe finish that is a blend of oils and waxes.
