More about Complex Cutting Boards, Marquetry and Beads of Courage boxes...

• Complex Cutting Board – Paul Kishter
Paul will discuss the process of building an end-grain cutting board with a complex pattern, including the steps involved, the challenges he encountered, and what he would change if he built it again.

• Marquetry – Matt Mehalic
Matt will introduce the tools needed to get started with marquetry and demonstrate the process of cutting a simple design using the double-bevel technique.

• Beads of Courage Boxes – Joe Conny
Joe will present his Beads of Courage boxes featuring a 3-dimensional maze inlay. Each box includes a unique maze. He’ll show how he begins with a simple 2-dimensional drawing, transforms it into a 3-dimensional design, and then builds the inlay.
