Join us for a delightful 2-session woodworking experience as we delve into the enchanting world of charcuterie board-making which will become a treasured keepsake, or gift, and topic of discussion! If you are news to woodworking, we recommend you take the Introduction to Woodworking and Shop Tools Workshop on Oct 9th to get comfortable using the tools prior to taking this course. In this hands-on class, you will learn the art of creating visually stunning and unique charcuterie boards that will impress your guests on any occasion. During the workshop, students will choose from a wide variety of new and repurposed fine woods to create a visually stunning piece that can last a lifetime. Prepared woods may include Maple, Ash, Purple Heart, Walnut, Birch, Australian Eucalyptus, Brazilian Cherry, Oak, Coconut Wood, Ipe, and others. All materials are included in the fee for this course. Students will decide on the design they wish to use and choose their woods. Since the wood will be of various thicknesses, students will need to plane them to an equal thickness and then glue and clamp the wood to form the board. Tools used: mitre saw, table saw, planer, and clamps.For the second class, students will sand or plane their glued boards to get a uniform smooth surface. They will then draw and cut their handle design on the board. Tools used: planer, sander, band saw, scroll saw. Lastly, all boards will be sanded, thoroughly cleaned and coated with food-grade oils to penetrate and seal the boards. Extra oil will be given to each student to repeat this process at home. Tools used: Sander.Note: The electric tool usage can create a bottleneck in the shop, so please be patient and use this time to learn and help others during class time. Please bring safety glasses and a dust mask if you have one. We have a small supply on hand. Long hair will need to be tied back and no open toed shoes.Age: 16+"Tony is a very dedicated, enthusiastic teacher with a clear love of his craft.
