"Wood" You Believe It? 3-in-1 Kitchen Wonder

What to Expect

This standalone skill class is a perfect introduction to the woodshop. You will start with a solid wood blank and follow a guided process to cut, shape, and finish your multi-tool.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a professional-looking, food-safe tool ready to go to work in your kitchen.
