Sept 20 - Make Your Own Cutting Board

Learn woodworking basics and how to create your own cutting board from talented local woodworker Jim Clapper.

All materials will be provided, including hard wood accent strips, glue, and sealing oil.  You will be able to choose all of your wood pieces, assemble your board, and learn how to glue it together with clamps. 

This class is beginner-friendly, but all levels are welcome.

After the workshop, Jim will take the boards back to his studio to sand them, and you'll be able to pick them up at The Local Hand on or after February 2.
