"Charles says...
... her old maple butcher block tabletop.
The hunk I salvaged is 49" long by 22" wide, made of laminated maple.
Looks like I found the top for my workbench. Now "all I need" is to
build the workbench.
Heck, if I do a Tage Frid-sized benchtop, I might have enough wood
already for the rest of it.
So . . how to approach this.
My instinct is to rip apart the failing laminations and re-do the glue
up using modern glues. Just a guess that modern glue and the lack of
daily washing down with warm water will last longer than I will.
Ideas welcome.

Wish I could stumble on something like that. Maybe I could ask for my
coffin early and turn that into a workbench :-) The 22" sounds a tad
narrow, do you have any plans to beef up the width a little?
