My Mom and Dad did what most retirees do; they bought 10 acres of land on a mountain top in Vermont and built their dream home. Trees that were cleared were sawn by a local mill and stored for almost 25 years. Last year my parents sold the house and moved back to our hometown of Saratoga Springs, and I inherited the wood. Using some of that wood I crafted this butcherblock top for their new kitchen island; alternating cherry and maple. A little piece of home for their new home!
