Here is a butcher block I recently completed. Birch (Tiles) with Mahogany (Grout). The top is finished with Mineral Oil, followed by a oil/wax mix. The base is a blend of poly/tung and BLO.

Very cool and great work. Grain orientation is spot on! Finish is perfect! On the legs, did you laminate them or inlay the dark wood? Great work I love it!

Very cool! I did the polar opposite of this a month or so ago as a gift for a neighbor http://lumberjocks.com/projects/31009 – I think I like the look of yours even better (light “bricks” and dark “mortar”). Great job!

Fantastic!
I really like this pattern of board.
Those legs are quite stunning as well.
Very cohesive project here.

Beautiful piece! I like the added the stripe on the legs to visually tie things together.

Did you mortise the legs directly into the top?
