In this workshop, students will learn how to make three beautiful 3D end-grain cutting boards. These cutting boards make a wonderful addition to any kitchen, a great gift item, or even a way to generate a little extra cash. It only takes three different woods-maple, cherry, and walnut-to achieve this unique design. Students will learn how to tune and maintain a bandsaw, which will make cutting even complex shapes easier than ever. From straight and angled cuts to planing, sanding, clamping, and gluing, students will produce their own finished cutting boards. This same process can be used in other areas of woodworking, such as making woodturning blanks. During the week, students will make three of Alex’s favorite cutting boards: the clover, the step board, and tumbling blocks. By the end of the class, students will have three seemingly complicated cutting boards that will amaze friends and family.
