Intro to Woodworking w/Erik: Make a Cutting Board!

Join us for a hands-on beginner woodworking class where you'll craft your very own wooden cutting or bread board! 🥖✨ This class focuses on basic concepts and the safe use of woodshop equipment, providing you with essential skills and knowledge, including:
