Thomas Powers, The induvidual pieces are not glued together, but interlinked with eachother in a way that keeps them all together, but if i hammer hard on one piece it will slide out a bit. It has a plack on the side with the name "Meesenburg" which is an old German company, but i have no idea how old it is. I've always thought it was an old butchers block. I wonder what wood its made of, because itsreally really heavy! Much heavier than the anvil!
And, also, message recieved, I will not mill the surface! haha
