While in Lowes I stumbled on a DIY-ish wood table top with live edge. It looked interesting, but after Googling, found nothing on it. Though this could be due to the company name being "Live Edge" which is a very general term, but I digress.
I was curious if anyone has screwed around with this or has seen one of these constructed as well as the community's general thoughts. The idea looks interesting, especially since wood tables with a live wood perimeter are currently quite popular

Hello, I am looking to create a desk for my wife with these countertops. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for the drawers/legs? I originally wanted to get IKEA Alex Drawers with an IKEA countertop, but they are all out of stock. And alternatives that can be trusted like the Alex Drawers?
I wanted the outcome to look somewhat like this...
I'm looking to get an unfinished butcher block top, and finish it myself. Haven't decided on the species yet, but leaning towards Acacia.
Just want to know what your experience is as far as the tops quality(tear outs, chips, dents, levelness, etc) from Lowes or HD.
Thanks!
I need to build a utility table for my kitchen to fit my espresso machine, grinder, bean canisters, and supplies. I'm looking at using a butcher block for the top, and since I'm light on tools I figure I'll just buy the tabletop and build the rest. Found this at Lowe's, unfinished, and it looks decent. Anyone use this before?

Since it's raw, I can finish it anyway I wish. Thinking I may get the 6' piece, and cut off 2' for that big cutting board I've always wanted.
For the utility table, I'm thinking I'll put a stack of Blum Metaboxes on one side for storage (2-3 drawers), and leave the other side open with a shelf to hold a couple rice dispensers. Maybe stick a box on one end to hold a couple bottles of flavored syrups. Should be pretty simple to design and build, but if anyone knows of a site with plans I wouldn't mind hearing about it.
