A Twist on the Butchers Block End Grain Cart.

I used Sapelly for Frame , shelves and Top perimeter with end grain walnut in the centre , sapelli end grain left and right of centre and oak to border the end grain section.

I had hoped not to use any nails or screws however, its very heavy and it needed 8 coach bolts to make it rigid once they were in place it was rock solid. all jointed and shelves done with dominos however , I plan to use these new festool mechanical connectors next time as during glue up I noticed an error that forced me to pull it apart and was a whole day on recover. this was a progressive design and build and the toughest part was the finish of tung oil and water based poly. I gave it a slight art deco edge in the design and I'm very happy with this one.

I hunted for many days for the Pull handles and I think the effort was worth the wait with these ones that combine pull handles and hooks

cheers

George that's a really beautiful piece. I would actually hate to see a knife do cutting on the "butcher's block" lol I'd say it's more of a serving cart ;) Nice work all the way around!

Beautiful cart. Very nice. Great job on this. What do you mean by "shelves done by dominoes"?
