WOW!!!! A TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO AND EDUCATION!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING. I LEARNED SO MUCH.

At Lowe's, butcher block was actually more expensive (in Maine) than granite options installed. We did it outselves and now I have lots of woodworking tools I wanted and still saved so am very happy. I could not have done Granite so in that sense it was cheaper, but would have been the most expensive option if I had it done for us.

I must say, this is the most helpful video I've seen regarding this topic! Thank you!

You got this!

Have you heard of WaterLox watched a video where they used this to reseal there butcher block?

This was really helpful, thank you! One question: When it’s time to reseal the countertops, do you have to do anything to them before applying the stain? (Sand, strip, anything like that?)

Thanks!! If the countertops are still in pretty good shape and have a uniform look, then I would just do a light sanding then re-apply a sealant. If there’s lots of discoloration or water spots then you would want to sand down all the way to bare wood.

Excellent video. Question: when it's time to re-seal the countertop: do I have to sand it down to take off the previous sealant or, can I just seal on top of the old?

If the previous sealant has worn evenly, then you could just do a light sanding and apply new sealant. However, if there is splotchiness or uneven wear, it would be best to fully sand it down.

What about walnut?? I really like the look of walnut after it’s been oiled. Is that hard?

I bought birch well my installer bought birch and it’s so naughty. I’m taking it back and I’m going to get another kind. What kind will have no knots

Thank You

Are Molave aka mulawin in Philippines good choice for this butcher block?

Great video. Can I stain them as white as quartz. I know some stain has added pigment.

You can definitely stain in a lighter color or go with a whitewash option, but I don't think you'll be able to achieve a true white color that's found in stone countertop finishes like quartz and granite.

How to seal it if I want to chop on it?

What sucks about my kitchen is where I want a butcher block top, the base cabinets give less than 3/4" between the top of the cabinet and the window sill. Most of the butcher block is 3/4" to 1-1/4.

You can continue the butcher block into your window sill

What is the difference between polyurethane and spar urethane?

@JoyfullyGrowingBlog

Жыл бұрын

They are very similar, but here are a few key differences. Spar Urethane is a good choice for indoor & outdoor. It is a little bit more flexible, and more resistant to sun fading, and temperature extremes. Polyurethane is more resistant to chemicals, and heat. It also takes longer to try and lets off more fumes.
