Butcher block table update

[VanBull]

Just wanted to provide update for the butcher block table I mounted on a long DeWalt drawer and RT700 legs. If any make a table like I did recommend covering when not using.

This table encountered some snow and rain therefore warped (yes it had many many coats of mineral oil). See photo. Sorry for the dirty grills. I use them a lot.

My trio and table photo attached

Neat idea! Can you share some info about the DeWalt drawer you used? I've been thinking about including a drawer when I do mine. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Recommend using 2x4 or 2x2 stack and must use metal L-channel to prevent flex for setting height you prefer

Thanks for the link and photo. That's a neat solution for this!

Were you hoping to fix the warping? I have some experience with this.

The best way to prevent warping on a glued up top is to incorporate breadboard ends, especially if used outdoors.

Thank you. I will make another butcher block table and add the sliding dovetail method on left and right ends
