Good looking cart, love the contrasting woods.
Looks very stout, and well made.

Very nice looking. I love the drawer. It provides a nice spot to place cutlery. Had you considered making the cutting surface “end grain”?

Very sweet.

How did you finish?

Wow, very nice, love the blend of woods classy without that boring butcher block look. Drawer a great idea and the stainless towel bar as well. And, as Dusty asked, what did you do for finish? It looks great.

A great looking cart. The contrasting wood is a nice touch, along with a drawer to hold knives and such. Well done.

nice work ! welcome to the site

Welcome to the family! We all love sawdust, as it looks like you do, too!

You cannot go wrong with maple and walnut for a pleasing contrast in wood. The glue-up between these two woods should be fine. My mother has a turned bowl I made over 30 years ago of maple and walnut. The glue has held up just fine.

God Bless,

Thanks all for the kind words. I had considered end grain for the top but I liked the long lines of the top this way and I also knew that the client was not actually going to cut on it,since they wanted me to make a matching carving board to place on top. For that I will probably use the end grain. I used seal-a-cell, one coat then 3 coats of arm-a-seal on the bottom and 4 coats of General’s salad bowl finish on the top.

Looks like a first class job. I want to try something like this someday. Well done.
