Before buying a new house, I completely gutted my old kitchen and remodeled it, keeping only the ceramic tile floor. The old cabinets were rough plywood, so I built new ones. The top cabinets are hand dove-tailed and have antique German glass on the fronts. I put 6" tongue-and-groove board...

Built mostly of mdf, this is an island I built for my sister about 2 years ago. It looks real nice with the granite top and corbels.

This is the second iteration of this project. I can post picture of the first but they are pretty much the same except for the wood selection. I built an end grain cutting board for a friend and found it convenient to keep it on an island she had. But the storage was not very good and the...

This was built for a my wife who is a local chef, who is also very into green building, and recycled furniture. She wanted a butcher block out of recyled lumber collected locally for her kitchen. After much dumpster diving, and lots of sorting, I came up with some good pieces to get the job...

This is my first woodworking project I ever did. It was a gift to my wife on her birthday, a mobile kitchen island that she can used in our RV. It's made out of 2×4's and I added an extension. She uses it indoors and also, outdoor when we have guests over. Even if I would do certain things...

This is a kitchen island that a friend of mine wanted me to build him. He loves to cook (and is extremely good at it) and he needed more work area in his kitchen. He wanted something that was mobile so he could move it around as his apartment is smaller in size. He wanted a work surface that was...

This is a kitchen island that I just finished. The base is just birch ply with poplar face frames and drawers. The topr if made from end grain blocks of pecan that was milled from a tree that used to be in my backyard! This is by far the biggest cuttingboard I've ever done. The finished top...

Built an island top for a customer. She contacted me after I posted a picture of a truckload of circular sawn oak from a barn that was been turn down. The boards were originally about 8 inches wide. I ripped the boards in half because they had a cup in them. I did this to minimize the effect of...

Updated Picture! Hickory butcher block that is curved on all sides.

My friend who is a contractor just moved into a new apartment and didn't have anywhere to put his garbage and recycling, so I decided to make him a little island for his kitchen with two garbage roll outs. It was a nice quick project and I had most of the materials left over from other projects...

This was for a repeat customer of mine that wanted an island that was mobile. I built it with a toe kick drawer to regain space that would have been lost where the wheels were. The piece is made of red oak and the finish is minwax puritan pine stain with medium rubbed effect lacquer sprayed...

Here's my new kitchen island. Made from red oak if anyone couldn't tell. It is made of 4 separate cabinets and the base is one separate piece as well. I ran power into the base and on one side where I had room. I even made the countertop myself-first time for that. That was the easiest part but...

I started woodworking a year ago and told my son that I would replace his kitchen island. I stumbled across a live edge chunk of Chechen and we decided to use it for the bar/back splash Here's his old island with the back of the oven exposed And the Chechen: The design was challenging...

Large island. Framed up with pine. Doors and facing birch. General Finish Expresso stain and water born poly.

Mobile Island I made for SIL for Christmas. It took me about a month to complete and I did it twice. Top is from ikea, as well as the shelf. It was just too much money and my lack of skill to try and make the top myself in time for Christmas. Painted to match the cabinets. Its got flaws but she...

Edge grain Dark Walnut Butcher Block Island Top with detailed edges and and curved sides.

I modeled it after a John Boos table that I really liked. Problem was that it cost $1600! Total cost for my island was $225. It was also too large for my kitchen so I made the dimensions slightly smaller and added a removable shelf. I also used the opportunity to add some elegance by...

Small Pine Kitchen Island- Cabot Poly Stain-Dark Walnut

My wife requested a butcher block kitchen island for Christmas and I obliged. The top is 35×28in and 3¼ inches thick made from ¾ inch cherry and sapele boards, glued together in pairs. I made the top by gluing 6 boards at a time so I had "chunks" of a manageable size that would fit my jointer...
