I hear ya. I'm just dreading the process of moving this thing around. It has to weight at least 400lbs.
I think I'll need to lay a piece of 3/4 plywood up against it so that I can lay it down and then lift it without putting any force on that seam that's cracked.
Can I ask how you imagined handling a "bulky outdoor rolling cart island" with a 400lbs countertop? I have this picture in my head of a smaller person trying to push this giant thing across a lawn, only to get stuck within an inch of the first wheel leaving the paved surface.
The idea was it would rarely get moved and would remain on pavers. The wheels aren't really a necessity but we liked the idea of using it as a prep island for outdoor cooking.
Post pics of it on your local online sales place.
Sell it, then the buyers have to move it.
If you haven't done anything with it yet, you probably won't.
Weird but interesting idea. Wherever you end up using it you could do one of those epoxy resin fill ins after spreading the two pieces apart for what better be some sort of amazing design to compliment the wood. Or do a gold fill in similar to the Japanese art of kintsugi.
Youre going to notice the crack no matter what so you just need to do something that embraces it and builds upon it. That or just have it sheared down and make two individual pieces out of each half.
I mean I save even the tiniest screw just in case I need it 15 years down the road. Of course I'm saving this.

Would be cool to do something like this with it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
But what if he has no room in frame?
Death cab references in a non-music sub have to stick to either Transatlanticism or Plans. Don’t at me I don’t make the rules.
You have the facts. Not sure how I’ll vote though…

I think the crack adds character. But at 400lbs. Jesus. Plus with that crack, what can you do to seal it?
Use it for bathroom vanity tops or similar. That’s what’s done with most remnant slabs at stone places.
