I HAD to buy this

[Whisky Fish]

Saw this in an antique store and had to get it.

Put the can there as a size reference

After bleaching, sanding and oiling



The sticker price was 350, talked her down to 300.
The block is 6 inches thick. With a 10" skirt around it, Knife block and towell rack. Top measures 24X36
Any wood experts know the varieties used here? I'm guessing Walnut is one of em.

[Fishawn]

Neat Find JT...... Hmmmmm..... I would guess Walnut, Maple & Cherry?.... Teak?

[Slanted88]

[Zeeker]

Wow WF. Killer find, just love that block.

[Kyote]

I would have to say you have gotten the steal deal of the year. that is just awesome.
as far as what type of wood. only the maker would know, I would guess maple is in there some where as is oak.
Don't know but looks like three types of wood from the pic.

That is awesome. What a gorgeous butcher table.

[crusty ol salt]

dude thats a great find i am so jealous

i'm thinking maple, cherry and oak

[Zeeker]

Whisky Fish, question Bud. What's a puppy like that weigh and I think you'll need Kyote to fill that knife tray up.

[Big Guy]

Most around here are made of maple. I don't recognize any of the wood in this one. however the light coloured striped wood looks like Grape fruit wood.

Its beautiful. I'll trade you my wife and her dog for it.

I go 225 at 5'11" and not too many fatties at the belt line. With the legs removed I was able to carry it to the truck. But I had to wipe my brow and light a smoke to recover.
Don't know for sure, but I don't think I could even buy the wood for $300 let alone assemble it.
Oh yeah and I already posted my desire for that Forschner meat cleaver with that slot in the knife block. Not sure I wanna whack that thing on the block though

JT, whats next?.... Are you gonna just start whacking Hogs on that baby, or any restoration or maintenance planned? The more I see this thread, the more I think you really got a great deal on that BEAST!
