How did your countertop turn out? Any lessons learned from that? |
Biggest thing I learned was the differences with working with hardwood and how wood reacts.
Pine and hardwoods are different beasts. My butcher block is 2 inch thick Maple. 6ft x 3 ft. I was just going to use my modest shop with modest tools to do the job. I ended up bringing it over to a neigbours place who has a 220v cabinet saw, 16inch planer and all the fixins. Maple is quite dense, so when cut it releases. Those nice straight boards weren't very straight anymore. Not a problem on a 10inch cutting board, but on a 6ft butcher block it made for some fun.
That was a few years ago and my first"real" project. But it basically got me into woodworking.
