vintage butcher block restoration - steel mobile base

A friend of ours gave us this solid maple vintage butcher block which we decided to restore to its former glory and add a new chunky steel mobile base to. The top was severely beat...we ended up taking about 3 inches off to get it completely flat. The total height is now 10". With such a massive top the based needed to be stout, hence the 1x3 tubing for the legs, 2x2 and 1x2 for cross beams. Add some heavy duty castors and there you have it.
Fun build. Happy with the way this turned out. Enjoy!
