Serving boards are useful and can be beautiful works of art, and making one is a great way to learn some basic carpentry skills. In this class you will use reclaimed hardwood to make a simple serving board from solid reclaimed wood and hardware. In the process you will learn how to use many tools, including a chop saw, planer and orbital sander.
This is a project-based class and you'll be able to take your serving board home!
Topics covered:
- Using chop saws
- Using a thickness planer
- Sanding techniques
- Finishing with food-grade oil
- Using Drills and drivers to attach handles
- Countersinking Screws
Skill level: Beginners are welcome, though ideally you have some basic experience on a chop saw or have taken a previous class with us. For ages 18+ as well as 16 and 17 year-olds with parent or guardian permission.
