I built this custom kitchen island for a family friend that wanted something bigger than what can be purchased at a retail store. They also wanted to have a butcher block top for cutting meat. The base is made out of select pine and the stained parts is red oak with a couple strips of birch. The over all project took me 5 days to build. With the top being the longest because it consisted of 94 1 ¼” pieces glued together. Thanks for looking!
