So, are you excited to cut on it for the first time… or terrified of marring it after all your hard work?
Keeps looking nicer and nicer.

it’s my brothers project I’m just the helper but he’s hoping to give it a belly like the 100 year old blocks

That really is beautiful… Now I’m thinking you should have carved out a little circle in the center of the block ( when assembling) and put in a 2016 penny

interesting idea 
Sorry just found this thread, but I have used food colouring to stain wood. Dilute with some water and go to town. Not perfect, but you can get some nice results. I made some play blocks for the young one that way. EVER GOES IN MY MOUTH age right now.

Sorry forgot to post finished. My brother decided to go with a basic open frame to support the weight that also allowed him to put slats in to support pots and pans. Mounted on casters for mobility, the block is also gravity mounted so it can come out of the frame if desired and as the pots are supported by running slats the block bottom is flat and clean
When my kitchen is done we also have a dozen or so multi wood cutting boards to work on before easter

Wow! That is just stunning! (Congrats on getting it up the steps…I wasn’t sure you’d pull it off without crippling someone!)

Yeah, you really made a fabulous, useful item out of all that scrap!
But is it wide enough for the Glowforge?

I don’t imagine you will have to worry about anyone walking away with that one. 
That is a beautiful job and will last many lifetimes…

Is gorgeous ! I don’t think it will fit through the pass thru though. (And even the pro won’t cut it…)

Looks nice!
I expected that you could just stick the pots and pans to the sides of it due to its own gravitational field… (sorry, retread of old joke)
