Cutting a "butchers block" style worktop
Wandering around BHS the other day, we found the ideal piece of
furniture to fill a gap in the kitchen. It's a trolley thing with a drawer and a heavy "butcher's block" style worktop about 5 or 6 cm thick. Nice. The only thing is that the top is about 3cm too wide for the gap, which we knew before we bought it but which I was sure I could cut down. It just lifts off, so I can trim one side only. Before I start, and to avoid a few weeks of life in the shed, I'd like the opinion of the collective on the best way to do this. Are there any pitfalls in cutting a piece of thick timber composed of blocks of timber glued so that from above you're looking at end grain? I'd be using a normal handsaw rather than a power tool. Tips? (Note: I do not own, nor do I intend to acquire, an angle grinder. Ta David |
