Chopping Block (first biggish project)
Hi All,
I have only recently taken up woodworking as a hobby. My father passed away in December and I needed something to keep my mind busy. My first project was a small display box to store Dad's coffin flag.
This is my first project I feel comfortable in sharing.
The chopping block is made from Jarrah and Mountain Ash. The stand is pine. The block is finished with Wood Wipe. The stand is finished in Liming solution and a water-based clear coat.
Your comments would be appreciated.

It's very nice, I like the way it's built too with traditional joinery for the drawer sliders.
How did you join the frame?
