Another butcher block table

[Uwood52]

i found two Catskills Butcher block slabs at Bargain Hunt and bought them both for $10! Then paid $5 for a wooden stool, took the (broken) seat off and fastened it to the bottom of the slab. So for $10, I think this table turned out pretty good!

Would love your thoughts also...

How heavy is that block?

How heavy is that block?

its pretty heavy...but I drilled one inch slots, used heavy duty wood glue, and wood screws to fasten the stool to the block. It's extremely sturdy!

Nice snag !! That's a cool seat/table...you could take a sander to that and shape it if you wanted to.

I am actually using it as a side table for my printer, router, and phone!

L@@KS great have you considered taking a powered router to to edges and rounding them over where they transition over to the side doing away with the 90 degree edge, that way if you hit your hand on it you will not bruise or cut your skin.

just a suggestion..

great snag and great looking......................

I guess from the angle it looks like it's got the 90 degree edge, but it doesn't. The slab is a factory butcher block board. I didn't make this one raw.
