DIY Wood Countertops

I’m building counter-tops for the laundry room by gluing up 2x6s.  This is inexpensive material that I can finish into a beautiful wood countertop.

I cut the edges off each 2×6 so they all had sharp edges.  I don’t want these rounded –beveled edges on my countertop.

This process involves a LOT of glue!

And then a whole bunch of clamps.

I’m glueing up 2 at a time, then glueing up those pairs.  I don’t want to try to keep track of all the boards in one glue up.

  1. I clean it off and use it for frosting too. LOL (JK)

  2. Nope. 😉

  3. My main concern is not the seams, it is keeping the planks flat. And my wood is neither dry nor seasoned. I’m in trouble. LOL

  4. The boards underneath just raised the planks off the table so I could get my clamps on. I clamped the boards across the top to keep the planks flat and level. I know I should have created some cauls but I didn’t want to spend time on that.

  5. I don’t understand the question. 🙂
