Im looking to see if any of you have some scraps I can use for a first time butcher block cutting board. My wife would like me to build a butcher block top for our center island and I would like a small scale project to get my feet wet. If anyone has some maple, walnut, cherry or the like that you can spare or know of a place near Chapel Hill/Durham let me know. Thanks!

I have slab of maple cut from a tree downed by hurricane Floyd. I'll have to measure it but I think it's about 3' long and about 12" wide and 2" - 3" thick. I haven't used it in 17 years that I've had it. I've thought about carving a bowl with it but so far all I've done is procrastinate.
Heck, Id BUY that for turning!
I have some other big pieces of walnut and maybe cherry if you're interested. I'd have to check out what I have.
instant message me please! thanks!
let me check it out . The maple turned out to be full of pp beetles but it has been stored away from the rest of my wood so I don't think anything else is affected
