I am sorry that I didn’t not check in last week with incredible answers for all your wonderful questions. Last time we spoke I told you that I would would answer a question submitted by lovely lesley if she would send me some pictures and arrange a noodling trip for me. Although I have not been noodling, I have been led to believe that this will happen sometime in the future. Being the innocent, trusting soul that I am, I will go ahead and offer my great advice.
I guess my first question is do you know any good places to find a thick piece of butcher block (cheap would be best)? It measures about 19.5″ with rounded corners. I think a thick, dark butcher block would look kind of cool attached to the metal. Would butcher block be the best way to go? Any ideas of something else that would be cheap would also be awesome!
I also think it would be awesome if I could attach the wood with hinges so I could hide things inside the basin. What would you recommend for the hinges since it will be going on metal and wood?”
