Discover the joy of woodwork! Enjoy a relaxing one-day workshop making a beautiful board you can bring out at the next dinner party and say “I made that!”

Suitable for complete beginners, our one-day course will guide you through the process of making your own custom chopping board or serving platter from a chunky piece of the finest quality furniture-grade solid Ash hardwood. 

Jonty, your friendly instructor, will show you how to transform it into a truly beautiful and food safe chopping board using a whole range of hand tools in a fun one-day workshop.

Please note: if you are interested in a date that is fully booked please get in touch at hello@ashandcompany.co.uk. We sometimes get cancellations and can put you on the waiting list for a bench space.


ABOUT THE COURSE:
Running from 10am-4pm, you will begin the day with a demonstration of how to use a range of hand tools to complete your board. We'll take you through setting up all the tools, let you practice with them and show you basic sharpening techniques before letting you loose on your main project. 

This will include a hand plane, a variety of saws, a spoke shave, block planes, rasps, files, chisels and various other sanding and finishing tools.

You can choose to drill a hole for a handle, cut a special shape in the side or decide to simply make as you go and work the wood until you have the shape you are after.

We will give you full instruction for the whole day so even if you've never done any woodwork before, you'll leave with an awesome chopping board that will last for life!

And that’s not all. You will also learn how to expertly sand and apply a natural, food-safe finish to the board to ensure it will be quality enough to adorn the finest kitchens and tables across the land! 

As standard, we supply solid Ash hardwood with every course. This is a lovely wood to work with, is quite light in colour with beautiful grain patterns and looks great when finished. 

All safety equipment and PPE is provided for the course and there will be a short lunch break (lunch is not included).
