Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
Pretty wood.
Did you do the build up, or just have Asimo cut the holes?

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
That I'm guessing is an island top with a sink in it.
I love walnut. Smells awesome.

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
Walnut countertop for an island with a sink and a cutting board area with a blood moat.
Interesting thing is that the Hubby and Wife could not get on the same page about the style. Wife wanted flat grain, Hubby wanted edge grain (butcher block style). So we did both. Half with the sink is 1 3/4" square turned with the grain vertical. The other half is random width flat grain. Turned out ok, I had my doubts Cnc for the sink and drain. First time I ever downloaded the dxf from the manufacturer's web site and aplied tool path to it. Sweet system for an accurate cut out shape.

Gorgeous block of wood. I hope you'll be posting pics of the finished island.

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
Looks awesome - certainly unique. Did you try to talk them out of the half edge half flat idea? I woulda been worried how that was gonna turn out but I like it.

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
Did you do anything special to acclimate it before assembly?

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
Seeing wood like that just makes me want to do more finish work than I get a chance to.
Beautiful counter top!!!

Re: Big Chunk Of Walnut
How wide? You have a sander that will fit it through one pass or did you reglue two halves after they were sanded?
I bet if you measured it at the peak of summer and the middle of winter there would be a 1/4" width difference in that chunk of wood.

Re: Big Chunk Of WalnutQuote:
I see a Rotex and a CT dust extractor in the back ground, I got money on that combo for the finish sanding.
