While I say this is a full build, I haven't made the drawers that will go in this island yet. That will be a project video on its own in the near future.
I've been planning this project for years and went through several different designs before settling on this one. My kitchen is fairly big (for such a small house) and it can easily accommodate an island this size.
The top is 60" long, 38" from front to back and a full 2" thick. Made from solid cherry, it will naturally darken with age and get even better looking.
The base cabinet is made mostly from 1/2" maple veneer plywood with some solid wood for the trim and corbels. The corbels (support brackets) are designed to match the doorway treatment I did going to my basement. They are decorative and functional, as they support the overhang. I'll be making a pair of fancy solid wood stools as a future project to go with this island.
