We have a new kitchen with room for an island, but I haven't been able to
get around to making it. So, the wife sees a picture in a magazine of
buffet-looking piece of furniture with a countertop with legs supporting an
overhang. She also recalls a similar unused piece at her parents' house.
So, we now have this piece, but it needs a new, larger top. I really don't
have the time to build a butcher block top, so I looked around for one. I
ended up ordering a 1 3/4 x 30 x 60 maple workbench top from Grizzly. It
arrived by freight today. The top was wrapped in a double-layer corrugated
carton with heavy cardboard angles around all edges. That was all held on
with nylon strapping and what appeared to be an entire roll of packaging
tape. Inside, there were hard plastic corners on each corner. Let's just
say this was packed very well, IMO. Most importantly, the wife is pleased.

It's a little late for you but Boos Blocks is a specialist in kitchen
butcher block tops.I hope your wife won't mind the saw dust in the
kitchen.
