BUILD YOUR OWN CUTTING BOARD

Design, build, and create your own cutting board in the shop with Wesley Michael Woodworking.

​

The Build Your Own Cutting Board workshop is a 6-8 hour workshop that spans across two sessions held on different days.

 

In the beginning of the first session, participants will learn general information about:

• the differences in the types of wood species,

• which wood species make good cutting boards and why,

• which tools are used to make a cutting board and why, and

• the order of operations of building a cutting board from scratch.

The rest of the first session follows a hands-on format where participants will:

• select the wood for their cutting board,

• design their board,

• glue their board together, and

• clamp their board for it to dry in between the two sessions.

 

During the second session, participants will:

• learn different sanding techniques and the importance of sanding properly,

• flatten their boards,

• square up their boards,

• sand their boards,

• oil their boards, and

• bring home their handcrafted piece!
