What You’ll Be Making: A custom magnetic knife board crafted from premium hardwoods
What You’ll Be doing: You’ll start by selecting the piece that will become your knife board and creating the profile for it – either your own design or from one of our templates. From there, using a number of power tools, you’ll shape it, sand it, and embed the powerful neodymium magnets inside, and finally apply a beautiful finish.

What To Expect
You walk into a Brooklyn workshop that smells faintly of sawdust and linseed oil, the way Hemingway’s study might have if he’d swapped the typewriter for a bandsaw. The hum of possibility lingers in the air.
For four hours, you are not an accountant, strategist, or software engineer. You are a craftsman—chisel in hand, shaping walnut, cherry, or maple into the magnetic knife board your kitchen has always deserved. Not the flat, soulless rectangles mass-produced overseas, but something that bears your signature. A wave. A mountain ridge. The silhouette of a shark. Or maybe just a clean, austere slab that says: “I have nothing to prove.”
Your instructor—an artisan who knows the quiet rebellion of making something with your own hands—guides you through the process. Sanding. Planing. Embedding magnets so strong they could hold Excalibur itself. By the end, your creation is burnished, polished, and humming with permanence.
This isn’t just a board. It’s a declaration: knives don’t belong hidden in a drawer. They belong here, on a pedestal you carved yourself, where form meets function and strangers will lean in at dinner parties to ask, “Where did you find that?”
You’ll smile. You won’t answer right away.
Because some secrets are too good to share.
