A customer came to me and he had a couple large pieces of butcher block that he wanted to make something out of. The problem was, he had cut a large section off, and it really looked odd due to the size (woodworking “golden rule” on rectangles). After working with it, I came up with this concept and he liked it. I made a large island top, putting both pieces together, which open up on slides to access a hidden box for storage. When closed, you have a very large top with 2 separate cutting boards with there own juice groove. The entire base was constructed from reclaimed oak wood which is great for outdoor furniture. The cutting board is sealed with pure tung oil, giving it a strong seal that is 100% natural.
He also had some additional butcherblock material, which I flattened, sealed and made cutting boards out of for him.
