Video Description

In this video I turn 2 barrels into a 3" thick solid oak, end-grain butcher block. It's 2 feet long, 18" wide, weighs nearly 50 lbs and took approx. 40 hours from start to finish. Working with the oak had a few challenges. There was a decent amount of milling needed to turn the staves back into square lumber and it's a dense wood that's not so nice on the blades. Overall, this was a fun and unique build that resulted in a pretty chunky but pretty awesome chopping block that now resides in my family kitchen. This was a fun video to make, I hope you enjoy the build process! ▶️ Want to support this channel?
