Yesenia Reynolds, North Salinas High School, Construction Technology 3-4
I created a chaotic butcher block cutting board that is ensured to last a lifetime due to its durability using all authentic hardwood and exotic wood giving its design. This cutting board has a mixture of cherry, mahogany, maple, purple heart and walnut wood I used different widths for each piece to give the board its unique look.

Jake McTighe, Salinas High School, Mill Cabinet/ Construction
For my woodshop project, I built a solid cherry wood table, stained dark walnut for a rich finish. At 33 inches tall and 30 inches wide, its sturdy, simple design helped me refine my skills. I gained confidence using techniques like staining and coating. Seeing the final product come together was rewarding and showcased my growth in craftsmanship.

The work that I have created showcases the creative process of an advanced butcher block cutting board with a diamond pattern. It details each step, from selecting and cutting wood to gluing, jointing, routing, sanding, and finishing with oil. The final result is a high-quality cutting board that I am very proud of creating.

This handmade cutting board features maple, walnut, and lacewood. Maple and walnut form the checkerboard sides and centerpiece, while lacewood accents the center and corners. The car image, owned by a local, was hand-drawn and laser-etched for a personal touch. The project took 6 weeks of on-and-off work and over 40 hours of designing and building.

Joseph Zenk, Salinas High School, MC3 Building Scaled Structures
During the first semester of this year, I decided to make a cutting board for my cousin's wedding. The board was crafted using walnut, cherry and maple wood material. I also decided to include their last name and the year they got married on one side and a juice groove on the other. Upon completion, I also added layers of mineral oil.

Sharon Hernandez, North Salinas High School, Construction Tech.
In my construction class we used this app called Sketchup since a lot of construction jobs require doing construction plans digitally instead of handmade because it is easier I built a plan of a house and in the bottom you can see where the kitchen living room and bathroom are located and I built how the "House" would look like but just digitally.
