Absolutely classic.

Solid Ash charcuterie board. 32 in/81 cm finished with a food safe mineral oil/beeswax mix. Housewarming gift for a work colleague and family. Theoretically his kids should be able to hand it down to their kids if someone sands it down every 20 years or so and keeps it oiled.

When you have extra butcher block, might as well make some cutting boards. 2 inch thick Ash, rabbetted around the bottom to match each sink so they sit down inside the top. Each also has silicone feet so they can be used on the counter. Finished with 5 coats of mineral oil butcher block sealant.

If you ever consider installing brick flooring and someone tells you how easy it is, consider consulting a mental health professional. Beautiful, durable... absolutely. Easy, big nope.

Temporary counter, no top, new top... metamorphosis. (The island doesn't sit low, my son is just huge 😂)

New butcher block counter for kitchen island. 2 inches thick, 54 inches wide, 136 inches long and right about 400 lbs. Finished with 3 coats Loba brand penetrating oil (with hardener) with "Clay" pigment to lowlight the grain.

250+ board feet is this incredible stuff to build out a closet with. Straight from the mill (I'll have to plane it down to 7/8” or 3/4”) but it's the most beautiful and defect free cedar I've ever purchased. It's aromatic eastern red cedar and my shop smells like a giant cigar humidor right now. Love the color!

NOT merely a flesh wound.

Jesus Christ boys that was one hell of a party. I'm never getting that drunk again! Slept like the dead! Who has some Tylenol?

When things take a turn for the worse at a work meeting.

Me trying to find what my dog has in his mouth.

[madmike363]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

[madmike363]

No cars, but a boat is handy.

Canal at night

While on my trip to burn in hell, might as well stop and look at the art. 😁

This tasted every bit as amazing as it looks. It was my son's but he's nice enough to share.
