Leftovers

One of my colleagues at work was nearly in tears telling me how B&Q wanted 2 grand to fit her new kitchen. She'd just moved house, had  two year old twins, it was coming up to Christmas and she didn't know how she was going to afford it. 
So because I can't say no I said I'd do it for her at mates rates.
I also got the half length of oak worktop that was left over for a little breakfast bar project I had in mind for myself.
I put on a leg in case I ever have to move it instead of attaching to the wall.
The join is with loose tenons. Danish oil finish.
Fits into an otherwise dead space beautifully and when you walk in you are greeted by a big chunk of oak. 
Perfect for two kids to throw food across! Nice that you were able to help. 

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

At first read, I had thought you saved up all your scraps and butcher-blocked them together, Months of work!

Still, looks good there!
great repurpose.

I like the design. Looks great!
"Mates Rates"  I like that term.
Doing it right now myself on the small kitchen. Got to help when you can.

That's a nice small project.  Perfect for a small space.  
Being able to use leftovers is always good.  Hard to figure what else to use them for, this fits the bill nicely.
Good thinking to put the leg on for future use.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

That looks great and is a nice reminder of the kitchen project.
