Finished butcher block

[smokingd]

I got it done. I am really happy with the way the colors popped when I applied the mineral oil. The next step is wax. Gonna use bees wax from the colony up the road.

You certainly are a professional and did everything you said you were going to do! Outstanding piece of craftmanship.

Very nice, indeed. How did you join your pieces and surface the whole thing?

 

[DanMcG]

Very nice Dennis, you did a great job on the build.

American craftsmanship at its finest!

You rock, Dennis

Heirloom piece! Don't you dare scratch up that surface! Use a planisan cutting board on top of it, lol! Great job, wish I could get hardwood here in the south locally, it all has to be ordered in and very expensive. Super craftsmanship too, did you dowel the top? What size planer do you have?

 

[morkdach]

very nice piece of work Dennis

The pieces are all bisketed together (over 160). I had access to a 48 inch thinckness planer. And Idustrial 48" sander. After that was an orbital sander from 220grit down to 1000. Once smooth I used pure mineral oil. After a week of oiling I am going to seal it with bees wax

100% hand made in Canada

 

[smokingd]

LOL I have a smaller cutting board in the works. Gonna match that one. Top was bisketed. And total out of pocket was $105 canadian.
