How do i build a wooden counter top for an island?
+1
I have a vision of a project involving turning the top of a tall hutch/china cabinet into an island. I want to create a wooden top for it that will have legs on one end and be attached to the cabinet on the other. I don't want to use just a plain solid sheet of plywood for the top but want to add either tile or make a butcher block top for the top surface but I don't know how to go about making the butcher block top. Please point me in the right direction on how to make a food safe butcher block top so I can bring my vision to life.
Suggested Project Book
Check with the home improvement stores, often they sell butcher block you can purchase.
I'm thinking of using pallets to do a counter top I've posted a question about it to see if anyone has done it I've seen them used as back splash it's beautiful
Here's two ideas to get you thinking Penny! I know this is not a very through answer but I am not sure of your wood working skills! You have a GREAT idea and I know it can be done!

Ikea sells reasonably-priced butcher block countertops.
