Make and Take: Custom Cutting Board

Come join other make717 members in creating your own, custom hardwood cutting board. Members will assemble, clamp, surface, and finish a hardwood board from a selection of Maple, Cherry, and Walnut in their own unique design. The class will cover wood suitability, adhesion methods, clamping, finishing, and edging. The class will teach an overview of shop tools such as the planer, drum sander, routing table, and sanders. Members will leave with a finished cutting board to keep or gift and the knowledge to make additional cutting boards with make717 tools.

Add a splash of color to your board by choosing the premium option. Exotic woods will be available to incorporate up to two strips into your cutting board with this option.

This class is suitable for members under 18 with an accompanying adult and makes a great parent/child bonding project or a date night project. One registration is for one cutting board. If someone accompanies you and you wish to make two, you must complete two registrations.

NOTE: This class is in TWO sessions.

The first session will be approximately 90 minutes

The second session will be scheduled as a group during the first session.

The second session will last about 3 hours. 

NOTE: Please wear ‘sacrificial shop clothes’ as we will be working with glue that will NOT wash out and will stain and mark fabric permanently.
