Butcher Block Table

Beautiful piece of work I hope to be able to do this well on my projects.

I love the table.. great use of contrasting woods.

-- making sawdust....

Thats a very interesting leg profile. Nice design.

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

I am going to build a bigger kitchen so I can have room for one of these.

-- A famous poet once said: “There is a name hidden in the shadow of my soul, the name is wood. Sweet, ever beautiful, earth grown wood. It warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye.”

Looking very nice.

-- It’s not so much what we know that causes the trouble, it’s what we know that’s not so.

That’s a great table – surely your not going to allow someone to use a knife across its surface – its far too nice for that!

Outstanding! I really like the unusual leg detailing.

Very nice table. I really like the profile of the legs. How did you make that profile?

I think we are all thinking that. How did you mill those legs? love the top – cutting board on the proverbial “steroids”. I am equally impressed with your shop. very nice!

Absolutely fantastic work. How did you do the details on the legs?

Do you have a gallon or two of Mineral Oil in the kitchen to keep it well lubricated?

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Very nice table. It looks solid! What are the wood species you used?

Yea, what about that shop? Looks way better than mine.

I will try to get some pictures of the shop posted soon.
Thanks for the kind words.
The woods on the top are purple heart, maple, walnut and cherry, and the base is maple.

Aren’t you going to tell us where you bought the legs from ?

The legs came from a cabinet/hardware supply wholesaler here in Nashville.
Good eye Dusty!

Great table!!!

Please tell us about the lift that lets you move your work bench and/or if you purchased or built it or a little of both? And where did you get the hardware?

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

It’s been a few years since I put the bench on the mobile base, but as I remember I bought the casters from Woodcraft, I think and then I bought some steel tubing and drilled and cut it to fit the work bench.
Hope this helps.

Looks good, I’m looking at doing one for our kitchen – same top just a different base.

Very pretty! I’m sure you’d make a lot of cooks happy if you made more!

The leg design is excellent! Great piece!

I can’t believe how many people have commented about the legs (which are great ) but fail to mention all of the work you put into that beautiful top . It is a wonderful , eye-catching piece of art that you created : )
This just came up again on the project-go-round and I had to add it to my favorites : ) What did you use for a finish on it ?

I used a food safe salad bowl finish.
As I remember i put about 8 coats on it.
Only problem is my wife doesn’t want to cut on it and mar the finish.
