Chopping board making
Shape, sand and oil a hardwood chopping or serving board in a woodwork workshop.
What you do
In a working wood workshop, a maker shows you how to choose and mark out a hardwood board, cut the shape, round the edges and add a handle or a juice groove. You use hand tools and, under close supervision, some of the workshop's machines, then sand through the grits until the surface is silky smooth. The finishing touch is a coat of food-safe oil that brings out the grain. Safety briefing first, sawdust everywhere after.
What you take home
A hardwood chopping or serving board you made, ready for the kitchen or the cheese course.
