Another project for my step-daughter. She does the sketch and I mess with the wood. This butchers’ block is strictly for show in her kitchen – no cutting and chopping! It’s in elm with the top fabricated from a 1” burr / burl elm board to appear, more or less, as a solid top. Finish is many coats of Danish Oil

So simple yet so beautiful.
It beats those IKEA lookalike crap anytime. But don’t she dare to approach it with a knife! It makes you wish to touch that sweet burl.

Outstanding. I like the mix of media, the aluminum corner brace is a nice touch.

I’m glad to hear that the top is for show only!
What a great cart, with the side board and drawer. Nice.

beautiful!!! is it only a “show” piece so that it does not get damaged…I understand…it is really amazing…I like the metal corners…One thing she could do is put one of your GORGEOUS bowls on top…then it would need to go in a museum…

Is that the natural color of the Elm ? It is beautiful to say the least
