Make A Cheese Slicer & Charcuterie Board

This workshop will include the materials and supplies to create a small cheese cutting board and a larger charcuterie board or cutting board made of different species of wood. This will be a two day workshop in which the first day will be picking out your wood, designing your pattern, squaring up the pieces and gluing them overnight. The next day will be trimming, sanding, finishing and adding hardware. This class is suitable for beginners and seasoned woodworkers alike. The finished products will be about 9" x 6" for the cheese board and 9" x 18" for the charcuterie board.
