A friend asked me to make him a kitchen island from a picture he found at Haverty's. With a few changes of course. He wanted it to have a top that matched his kitchen cabinet finish and the bottom painted black.
The picture:
The changes he requested are for the top to be 40" wide by 62" long with a 12" overhang on two sides. In place of the shelves on the right, he wanted a wine rack instead. No drawers and the doors to match his cabinet door profiles.
Here's what I came up with.
The top is hard maple with SW Classic Cherry stain. The bottom is poplar with BM Advance. You might be able to see the feet over on the workbench on the left in the oblique picture.
I delivered it yesterday and he was extremely happy - as was I that he was happy.
