Design your board shape!

Design Your Board Shape

Choose your wood blank from a couple of varieties of timber and design your own board shape. Mark it out onto the wood. Let your creativity flow!


Cut on the bandsaw

Cut on the Bandsaw

Using a bandsaw, carefully cut out your shape! Bandsaws are a safe and satisfying tool to use - see your design come to life!


Edge sanding

Edge Sanding

Using table top sanding machines, you’ll sand the edge of the boards to refine the shape. We’ve been told by our students this step is very therapeutic!


Drill the handle

Drill the Handle

Using the drill press, you’ll drill out the handle hole for your board. The wood shavings from this step are beautifully tactile.


Orbital Sanding

Orbital Sanding

Using an orbital sander and a bit of hand sanding as well, you’ll get your board super smooth and ready for some oil!


Oiling

Oiling

Using our non toxic and food safe oil, you’ll finish your boards and watch the wood grain come to life! This step is the most exciting because of the dramatic change in the wood!


Finish!

Finish

Revel in the knowledge that you made this beautiful object with your own two hands! Take it home and let it dry over night before using it to serve yourself a feast of charcuterie to celebrate!


Looking for hands-on woodworking classes in London? Join Harry and Johanna from Variegate and learn how to design and make a sustainable charcuterie board for your home using offcuts from their furniture projects!
First of all, ensuring everyone's safety is paramount, so we'll conduct a comprehensive safety briefing, familiarising you with the tools we'll be using.
Next, it's time to unleash your creativity! You'll handpick a piece of wood sourced from the offcuts of our furniture business. Whether you wish to design a custom board shape or use one of our stencils, the choice is entirely yours.
Under our expert guidance, you'll bring your design to life using a bandsaw and then refine and perfect it with a variety of tools at your disposal; hand sandpaper, an orbital sander, and a disc/belt sander. You'll achieve a smooth and polished finish that showcases the natural beauty of the wood.
To protect and enhance your charcuterie board, you'll learn how to apply mineral oil and get a quick rundown on how to properly care for your board.
Our practical woodworking classes are comprehensive and designed for complete beginners, so no prior knowledge or experience with woodworking is needed. Give the gift of creativity and craft to yourself or a loved one!
