Cutting Board 201: Edge Grain

with Ken Thompson

Part 1: Tuesday, November 16, 2027, 6 PM - 9 PM

Part 2: Tuesday, November 23, 2027, 6 PM - 9 PM

Required Tools

Take this class to make a beautiful edge grain cutting board! Edge grain boards are made by arranging wood strips so that the edges of the strips form the cutting surface. This construction style imparts remarkable durability to the board, and holds up much better to cutting and chopping than simpler face grain boards. Students who take this class will receive expert guidance with using several of the core tools of the wood shop as they create their board. NOTE: Species selection varies from class to class, and students will be able to choose and create their own design using available materials. This means that no two boards will be the same and you can make a one-of-a-kind piece!
