A couple months ago I asked for feedback on a kitchen island design. Here is the old thread: https://ncwoodworker.net/forums/index.php?threads/kitchen-island-take-2.66601/
As a follow-up I have completed most of the project. Some pics:
The carcass is plywood. The drawers are dovetailed hardwood with plywood bottoms. The outside is air dried walnut. All of the shaker style panels are bookmatched 1/4" walnut. The stone top is natural quartz (quartzite) and is the star of the kitchen.
I still have to pick final hardware, finish a drawer, add toe kick, and last but certainly most noticable: finish wrapping the back in Walnut!
There is 42" (at least) on all sides as recommended by various forum members.
And 15" of overhang on two sides. The stone guys insisted on support:
Thanks again to all the people who helped hash out the plan!
