Canto – A Sustainable Serving Board That Steals the Show (4 Hours)

Canto is more than a serving board—it’s a conversation starter.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll craft a round, elegant serving board using carefully selected reclaimed wood, combining hands-on craftsmanship with sustainability. Every piece of reclaimed timber carries its own grain, tone, and character—so every Canto board is naturally unique.

Designed for entertaining, Canto is ideal for cheeses, charcuterie, fresh bread, and shared moments around the table. You’ll learn the key steps to transform raw material into a refined, functional object: shaping, smoothing, edge refinement, and finishing—so your final board looks as good as it feels.

No experience is needed—just curiosity and a love for good design.
