A-Frame Kitchen Island
November 9, 2010
Serious cooks need serious work space. This narrow, counter-height piece expands prep space greatly without obstructing key paths of travel. The red-brown surface is solid Sepetir, an Indonesian hardwood. Sounds glamourous, but the species is widely used as flooring for semi-truck trailers, which is where the scraps used here served their first tour of duty. The steel base is designed with a high support. and a wide stance for stability and enough clearance for stools from all angles. The simple oil and wax finish is completely food safe.

This table top is made of two reclaimed floor joists that must have weathered together for years to become uniformly checked along their faces.

At counter-height (36″) the A Frame Table adds a little extra work area off the kitchen while providing casual dining space for four.
