Had the opportunity to do a full restoration on this butcher block from Dec 1942. It spent almost all its life in a remote mine here in Alaska. Made for an amazing Christmas present for the owners wife. I really enjoyed this restoration and hope you do too.

The block itself is 30" x 30" x 15" and weighs around 400lbs. It was coming apart from the bottom drying out and was in need of serious restoration to last another 80 years.

I was never able to find the original manufacture of this block. If anyone might know please contact me. Thank you.

At the request of a few amazing people I have set up donation links for those who want to take another step in supporting me and this channel.
