Made to fit over a sink and push scrap in for the disposal unit. Absolutely forgot the types of wood the moment I bought them. Was done in a little bit of hurry because I wanted to use the shop I was at to make it easier, but I was moving.
Started two boards purchased from Bad Goat in Missoula. They get all their stuff from the arborists in town that formed the business.
I cut the boards in half and laminated them together to on edge.
The boards were overhead sanded to be almost 100% flat, except I had to cut off the very ends a little after I cut them into 2.5in pieces.
Then adjusted them together with what I thought was offsets for the lam lines but it was only so for some of them, and cut off most of the remaining sticking out amounts. Then came the inappropriate bar clamps, and some necks to push them together long ways. The overall result was a rather not-flat group of end grain pieces.
Overhead sanded the inside even and flat by making a flat bed with some screws holding the piece up for squaring and holding blocks at a lower depth on front and sides. Think of adjust screws the laminated board sat on, and I adjusted the screws to get it so the lamination was perpendicular.
Glued on the outside pieces on long sides, cut each end flush.
Glued the two cap pieces together, cut them down.
Glued the two piece caps on, flush cut to board by taking off a bit overall length.
Overhead sanded it down.
Sanded it with Metabo to really smooth finish, burned off edges with 180 grit.
*lost track of tablesaw use where I cut off pieces to get it all correct sizing and flushed out. Here, there, as needed.
