Artisan Wood Cutting Boards Workshop

This workshop introduces the craft of building custom artisan wood cutting boards. This workshop has been designed by makers Justin & Keary (the husband and wife woodworking team behind Grace & Salt) and features an instructional digital workshop accompanied by a curated kit of tools and materials to build a maple & walnut striped cutting board from scratch.

Learn more about the details of this project on Justin & Keary’s Featured Maker Page.

Each materials kit (be sure to checkout our Marketplace for additional colorways and cutting board styles) is carefully prepared with precision by a craftsman in San Diego, California to ensure that our wood bundles are carefully planed so that makers can accurately assemble & build our artisan cutting boards from scratch at home without the use of major woodworking tools.

Techniques taught in this workshop: how to use sturdy clamps, a putty knife & wood glue to build a custom board, how to appropriately sand and prep a food-grade board, the purpose of mineral oil in conditioning and maintaining cutting boards over time.

This workshop includes:

The tools & materials included in this kit:

• Custom maple & walnut stripes cut to a variety of widths to design and build your cutting board, the largest piece of maple offers a drilled hole for optional hanging
• A set of two 12″ sturdy wood bar clamps ideal for this project and many others
• 4oz of our recommended water resistant wood glue
• A putty knife
• Four different grits of sand paper + a sanding block
