Chop on This
Krys and Matty recently headed to OWS’s favorite wood supplier, Bohnhoff Lumber, to pick up a few sticks of 8/4 walnut. The Mission: to create a 42″ by 102″ end grain butcherblock kitchen island. That’s enough space to put 3 whole hogs side by side or 16 average size bratts from end to end.
