Here is the Plan
Who doesn’t love meat and cheese, or maybe a nice flight of craft beer? All these items are even better when served on a nice-looking slab of wood. Charcuterie, and the boards the snacks/drinks are served on, are gaining popularity in the United States, especially in ‘farm-to-table’ communities. This class will delve into ‘advanced’ charcuterie boards while still holding to best practices for wood safety in the kitchen. As charcuterie is about showmanship, students will each get a wide, 2” thick slab of figured and/or spalted wood and will learn how to highlight figure and optimize wood use for the desired charcuterie board shape. Router templates will be provided so participants can shape their boards like teardrops, spaceships, or whatever suits them.
Dr. Seri Robinson
A few years ago, at the end of Seri’s workshop, I was fortunate enough to spend a few minutes talking about Seri’s research and the amazing direction it is taking our craft. As we said our goodbyes, Seri mentioned that Seri’s research program appreciated our donation. Taken back, I asked “What donation?” Seri told me Seri’s program struggled to get any grant money; there aren’t many takers for the exploration of mold and how to turn wood green, red or blue in color. Seri went on to reveal that it was a struggle to come up with money to buy new flasks and petri dishes. As it turns out, Seri was taking the money I was paying Seri for Seri’s workshops at MASW and putting it back into Seri’s own program at OSU.
You can’t define passion better than funding your own research.
