Butcher Block for Our Computer Desk for $50.00

Having a builder built computer desk was great but the plastic top never sat right with me.
It is a long desk top (96 inches) and IKEA did not have the right size for us so we had no choice but make it. I did not want to spend so much on it so my husband and I came up with a plan.

Pricing butcher blocks was kind of overwhelming.
Visited many lumber warehouses but it still costed more than I wanted to pay for.
The edges are sharp looking and for $50.00 it was a bargain. I think we saved a ton of money just like many other DIY projects what we have completed.
Here is the final product
It looks so much better than the silly plastic
