Default Attaching chopping block top
Hey guys, been a while. Quick question - built my chopping block and frame. Block is 3" thick edge grain hard maple. The frame is white ash. Pretty happy with how it came out.

But how should I attach the top? Just blast a few screws into it? Or should I use something else to let it move/expand??

Thanks guys :)

Buttons are usually a good idea, but difficult if the frame is already constructed. Screws will be adequate: drilling a slot allows the screws to expand and contract.
