Date Night Cutting Boards

Thursday, April 24, 5 PM - 7 PM

CLS1226 - In this class you, a partner and instructor Nickolas Knue, will be making a simple cutting board together. We will be taking strips of wood and making them into a roughly 11”x14” cutting board you can show off or give as a gift. The tools used will be a table saw, planer, and drum sander. This class is open to couples of any walk of life and parent child duos! Both people in each "couple" will leave with a board. Children 10 and up are welcome but only children 16 and up will be able to use the table saw due to safety reasons. We look forward to having you in this class here at Woodcraft Columbus!

Finishing Series Pt 2: All About Top Coats

Tuesday, April 29, 6 PM - 9 PM

Join our finishing expert Lori Andrews in a continuation of her Finishing series. She’ll teach you all about how and why to select, and apply different common types of topcoats on your projects, considering how your project is to be used. There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so take this chance to let our expert demystify the subject! Shellac, lacquer, oil- or water-based urethanes, or even oils and waxes, Lori will explain the pros and cons to help you select the right product, and get that professional finished look. Bring all your topcoat questions and Lori will help clear up your concerns, and she’ll have lots of examples so you can see how different products and finishes really look, leaving you with more knowledge and confidence to complete your own finishing projects. Part 1 (Coloring Wood) of this series is not required, but is a very helpful companion to your finishing knowledge base.
