Sparrow Peak Butcher Block in Acacia Espresso - 72” x 30” - was about $250 from Lowe’s.

SEE YOU GET IT

[@megatar3]

I love wood, black, and greenery styles. Puts me at peace. Wood, white and greenery is great too for more of a colder winter time vibe

[@Steve.._.]

​@@NPCLiambut you have lights anyways? 😂 Sure it's not an RGB fan, it's an RGB room. Ya nonce 😂

[@kingkase0079]

Yh plus the white + rgb is SOOOOOOO overused it’s crazy, I used to want it but then I really thought and was like “wait this isn’t my own thing” I realised I’m starting to like more reserved, peaceful and relaxed builds (still with a little rgb) it’s a perfect mix for me

Sitting without support? Do I need to attach a leg in the back? Does it bow?

[@NPCLiam]

@@jonathonborges2914 it doesn’t bow with what I had on it but I have added a support leg just for peace of mind.

[@NAKDTV]

Duuuuude. Absolutely #GNARLY set up my friend. Great tips 😊

[@Shogunslossy]

Butcher blocks are made out of softer wood to catch the blade of the knife and not have bouncy like harder woods. Definitely looks like a real block to me and if you see very old ones they are usually very tarnished

[@Xander_t]

Who told you this?

[@Shogunslossy]

@@Xander_t I make ‘em my friend. My grandpa told my dad who told me. Knowledge that’s been passed down generations I guess. Humor me on what you think I said incorrectly? I’m genuinely curious….

[@Shogunslossy]

@@Xander_t it’s also just common information in woodwork, I’m sure you could find it all over Google if you don’t have a hundred years of woodworkers to learn from in your family 😂

[@Xander_t]

@@Shogunslossy usually maple and thats a hardwood. If you google it it says the opposite. It says hardwood.

[@Shogunslossy]

@@Xander_t yessir correct you are supposed to use a hardwood for a cutting board from a broadleaved tree so last and doesn’t rot after being cut and deprived it’s water source. you would use one of the “softer” woods from the hardwood category to avoid having blade damage or bounce back from to dense of a wood. I think we may be on the same page just a bit of a miscommunication and maybe I wasn’t clear on my original post my apologies!

[@metl7734]

I got a 8 foot butcher block in espresso, coated it in polyurethane a few times and slapped two file cabinets from Walmart under it. It’s a great desk with plenty of space

[@R3CU]

If y’all like his wallpaper it’s from the halo reach winter contingency Home Screen

[@foggyrl]

I just built a very similar desk since im moving in with my girlfriend. It looks amazing and the smooth surface is a whole other level of nice. Especially playing shooters because your arm just glides across the desk if you do rest your arm on the desk. Its real nice

[@rebirth-d]

you've seen me say this before but I love your desktop wallpaper lmao, I opt for a deskmat and sff pc but I have a similar design philosophy for my setup

[@jonbanaitis2992]

It’s a veneer basically cheap wood covered with a thin layer that’s why it scratches and feels rough , almost like a laminate countertop top A solid butcher block block that size I have one you are well over $3,000

[@KronicDaydreamZ]

Butcher block usually has the end grain on top

[@yxvngghxst8877]

The wood is acacia I was researching one and you have to oil it down every few months or it will get dry and scuff easily sturdy though. It’s an African tree

[@NPCLiam]

Ohhhh that’s sick! Didn’t know that. Not sure how easy that will be but that’s good to know for future tabletops.

[@ForexExpertEMBPR9]

Im a wood worker 10 years experience,thats not acácia wood. Thats is pine wood painted. And that its a glued piece with wood stick to make that cool. Thats not expensive,it cost 45€ to make One . I make a lot of that a month.
