Keep in mind that wood "putty" made out of sawdust and glue will never stain the same color as the wood surrounding the holes that are patched. Wood glue does not stain at all so the mix will not stain because of the glue mix. Best to get a wood filler that is very close to what ever stain you will be using. Fill the holes first before staining. You can go a little wild here with some of the putty staining the wood around the hole. After all holes are filled touch up with a fine sanding at each filled hole so only the the filler is exposed at the holes with no "over spray" so to speak.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing your process!

That's some good looking wood! I'm really enjoying your channel Brent! You have a nice, even instructing voice that just makes every project feel..chill

S4S means surfaced 4 sides, not sanded.

Could you talk a little bit about the end grain butt joints when gluing up? I am hoping to glue up a 14’ long countertop in one shot (workshop is in my house so no need to transport) but will need to use boards that are shorter than the 14’ length. Did you just slap some glue on them and the edge glue ups will hold them in place/make the table strong enough? Also any suggestions for substrate for under countertop? Does it have to be plywood or can it be particleboard or mdf?

@BYOTools

I’m assuming this is referring to when I was flying the boards together. If so you have a short amount of time to work on getting all of the boards glued up and clamped down before the glue starts drying up on you. It’s the working time of the glue before it drys. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching. Hope you subscribed.
