Cookbook/Cutting Board stand

Build a versatile, kitchen-ready stand designed to hold cookbooks, tablets, or cutting boards while learning core woodworking skills you’ll use again and again. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll transform solid hardwood into a functional, good-looking stand that’s perfect for everyday use or gifting.

This class focuses on clean joinery, thoughtful design, and precision shaping — ideal for beginners looking to build confidence and for experienced woodworkers wanting a refined, practical project.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire build process, learning how to:

• Break down hardwood stock accurately and safely
• Cut joinery to create a sturdy, well-balanced stand
• Shape and refine curves or angles for both function and aesthetics
• Cut precise slots to support cookbooks, tablets, or cutting boards
• Sand and finish for a smooth, kitchen-friendly surface

Along the way, you’ll learn tips for maintaining consistency, avoiding common mistakes, and adapting the design for different sizes or uses.

Project Details

By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a completed cookbook and cutting board stand that combines thoughtful design with durable construction. The finished piece works equally well on a kitchen counter, workbench, or display shelf.
