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.
DIY Wood Countertops
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.
Check out some of my other countertop ideas:
Very nice, you don’t have to use any screws? Just glue and clamps? I am getting ready to plank wood to paint on I am thinking since it will hang vertically I will have to use screws.
Dang I wish I had a garage!!!! NO sense of humor in apartment buildings… none. 😀 Discreet power tools … oxymoron. Oh and space.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw you spreading wood glue…. I wonder what would happen if wood stain was added to the glue?

I don’t know if you have an IKEA close to you, but if this doesn’t work out their numerar butcher block countertop might be a good alternative. We used the lagan to make wraparound desks in our office but that doesn’t seem to be available anymore.
Yikes. I don’t take any chances. It’s SO not worth it. There is nothing glamorous about DIY so why try to pretend that you can look beautiful while you sweat and work? LOL Just be safe and smart and make something awesome. That’s all I care about! 🙂
nice!
