Here is the finished product. Stained cherry and granite sealed. It took a year (since we purchased the granite) b/c quotes to make an island ran from $2k-3k (silly) so it took me a while to find a stand that I could modify. Making a stand from scratch was going to cost a bit much too and I don't have the right tools. We got the granite at a great price, it was an 'odd end" leftover during a big sale to raise money for the Seattle Children's Hospital in '09.
Two "rails" for towels. Two pot rails under. Two loops for towels/stuff. I cut the lattice shelf to allow for adjustments or a hole to hang the longer pans etc.
View underneath. Large pot holders in front for my big "crab pots."
Here is a finished foot. With counsel from Brother Andy I increased the feet from 3x3 inches to 7x7 to make it a lot more stable. I felted the feet and it's super sturdy and stable now.
Here is a shot of the feet modifications and look at the original color before staining. The lag bolts and washers are sunk to level them. Then I trimmed these oak feet to the above look. Yay!
