Butcher block insert in marble island, advice please
Comments (30)I think that Christopher Peacock kitchen does have a lipped cutting board sitting on top of the marble -- just like the oldalgebra and homepro01 have mentioned. I suspect it looks different because if you are Christopher Peacock, you get a wood artisan to create a custom piece for you and it is made to fit over the edge of the marble and back under to the cabinet so that it looks perfectly finished and it stays in place better when working at it. If you are going to pay for a CP kitchen, you certainly aren't going to photograph your kitchen with a cutting board you could buy off Amazon, and if you are CP, this is one of those things you sell your client on -- art as function. Looks great and protects the marble even if you don't cook in the kitchen....See MoreFavorite Wood Counter/Butcher Block Companies?
Comments (55)So, I priced a 12 x 18 x 1.5 Walnut cutting board... Hardwood Lumber Company $47.52 + shipping John Boos $105 (shipping included) A rather substantial price difference that will be magnified when you're talking in terms of island countertops. (Depending on how far you live from Ohio where HLC is located regarding cost of shipping.) For those of us on tight budgets and who don't mind investing a little sweat equity, it is a good thing to have lower priced alternatives....See MoreWhere do you get wood countertops, or are they all made custom?
Comments (16)If you're willing to glue it up, there's lumber out there--just not in Home Depot, usually, or your average "lumberyard"--those are usually selling to the building industry, and they don't want/need thick hardwoods. OK, I'm presuming you don't want to glue 2x4's together for this project...Frankly, the easiest thing to do is order a piece from one of the sites people've already given you. You don't have woodworking tools, right? To get a nice flat top, you're talking more than just sanding, you need to get 'em to be flat on the edges so's there's no gaps between the boards. Not that easy with just a sander, though you're not talking about that long a piece. Try looking for places that sell hardwood in your area--that'd be a better google term than lumberyard. Rocker sells some wood, but $$ (on the other hand, maybe you can get there by car?). I tend to buy nice wood at West Penn Hardwoods--have always liked what they send me. Anyhow, Home Depot etc tend to only have 1" (aka 3/4" in real life) thick hardwoods, when they have those. Suppose you could buy, say, 2" x 1" maple strips and glue together on end, but I wouldn't, that's just too much gluing! The Amazon piece--you do know maple's not the greatest for staining, right?...See MoreWhere to get scion wood?
Comments (4)Do you want to buy rootstocks and scionwood and graft them to create your own fruit tree varieties? not sure how experienced you are. If you are brandnew to fruit trees, I suggest you buy grafted fruit trees from reputable on line nurseries. Once you learn to grow a few trees, you can move on from there. you can order bare root fruit trees from nurseries like Burnt Ridge, Grandpa Orchard, Cummins, Raintree, Adam County Nursery. Now is the time to order, maybe a bit late as popular varieties are usually sold out by now. it is important to know where you live as not all apples, peaches, pears, etc., tolerate all climates....See Moreremodelfla
