My daughters friend Josh wanted a butchers block after seeing hers and this is what I came up with.
It’s 20” w x 24” l by 33” tall. Used reclaimed wood for the top (old school worktops, hard maple) old barn poplar and local cut and air dried walnut.
The panels are made of oak ply because I thought it would be a plan to give them a light paint wash to co-ordinate with the kitchen color.
The drawer opens to either end and the cabinet is also accessible from both sides.
All critique and comments welcome and thank you much for looking.

Nicely done, Great color as well. Looks like a V drum sander in the backround as well. I’m sure he liked it very much.

Looks great. Good idea making it accessible from both sides. The only critique I could think of was making the butcher block bigger so the hangs over the sides, so it is easier to clean stuff off it.

Nice piece of work! Please tell me how you made the top; is it end-grain or edge-grain? And did you ever paint the sides?
