The experience
A small group,
a real product
Up to 4 guests
Kept small so everyone gets plenty of room, direct guidance, and time on the machines without waiting around.
5 hours
Start to finish with professional guidance. No experience needed.
1 board
A solid-wood serving board you made yourself and will actually use.
Halfway through, we stop for coffee: a good espresso or an iced latte, with some snacks.
Good to know
It's hands-on and active, with lots of standing, sanding and moving around. It's a lot of fun, and it's also tiring. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.
The material
Premium hardwood,
your choice
Every board is made from solid, kiln-dried, sustainably sourced hardwood. You choose the wood you like best.
Cherry
Warm reddish-brown with a smooth, tight grain that deepens with age.
Hard Maple
Pale and dense, with a clean grain that holds up to daily chopping and serving.
Bete Mansonia
Deep brown with a bold grain. A rarer hardwood that stands out.

Your safety
We guide you through every step, start to finish. You never use a tool alone, and nothing moves faster than you're ready for. Eye protection and dust masks are provided throughout, work areas are kept clear, and every machine is switched off as soon as it's not in use, so you can relax and enjoy the process.
