This kitchen island is made almost entirely from reclaimed lumber.  Wormy chestnut, salvaged from barn sheathing, makes up the body of the island.  The lower shelf is   made from unconditioned white pine which served as rails for a horse stall for over 100 years. Fresh poplar is used for the drawers.
