How to do this project

assembled the top Michael like how you would for a butcher block. Except, pocket holes were drilled into each board spanning about a foot apart all the way down all boards.

Since the customer wanted beetle kill boards and I could only find 1x4s, I assembled the top Michael like how you would for a butcher block. Except, pocket holes were drilled into each board spanning about a foot apart all the way down all boards.

le kill but for the rest of them I used 2x4s for stability. I joined them together by making a stretcher board

After I assembled the top. I made the legs. The Senate of the legs are beetle kill but for the rest of them I used 2x4s for stability. I joined them together by making a stretcher board

as keeping all the boards straight during the glue up process as they kept wanting to bow as the top got wider. So I had extra sanding to do. I sanded 50 to 320

That's a great job Anthony! Very inspiring. I want to build one of these for a long time already. Did you use pocked holes to hold the boards together? Can you tell me if it's better than just wood glue?

Hey! Thank you! Since they were only 1x4s, I actually used glue AND pocket screws.. may seem a little redundant, but it's all the more stronger. Definitely easier to glue, but I wanted to make sure it lasts a long time. Also, doing both actually helped the boards not bow while I was glueing.. since it was so many boards the middle kept wanting to come up as I clamped them
