We recommend waiting 5-7 days before use of the counter top to allow the wood and varnish to acclimate to its environment. Lastly, we sprayed one last time with Varnish to seal all areas. We attached adjustable feet on the leg of the counter top as the floors were not level. During this time the piece was not moved. We used clamps and a ninety degree angle to ensure exact angle was created. The last step was to join the two pieces together to create the waterfall edge. This will allow the client to place glasses on the wood without creating a ring or stain. Once the sanding was complete we then sprayed each piece with a Matte Varnish/Polyurethane to seal the wood. The sanding is another critical piece to ensure level and smooth surfaces. Next, we sanded smooth using several grits. This will then let set for a couple days to set up. Once cut was done, we filled any imperfections using two part epoxy and stained to desired color. There are now two separate pieces that will be joined at a ninety degree angle to create the continuous waterfall edge. This cut will ultimately determine if the piece is straight when installing later on. This part is critical to ensure cut is precise. We then created a cradle to cut the ninety degree angle on the table saw for the waterfall edge. Next we joined all the boards together using tite bond glue and sat for 48 hours to ensure all was dry. We ran all the material through the planer, joiner and table saw to ensure exact measurements of each board creating a straight and smooth surface for all planks. This will allow for any defects in the wood and allow for the continuing waterfall edge the client desired. We began by using 8/4 American Walnut wood 6″ wide and 11′ long. Once the wood species was determined we were ready to get to work! Unsure of the type of wood to use we brought samples with us to client so they could determine color, grain and pattern they liked for the area. After seeing the space the design was a beach theme decor fitting for the area. We were delighted to see a newly renovation kitchen with updated white cabinets, beautiful hardware and gorgeous back splash. We were there every step to help her with color, design and style she wanted to achieve.įirst we went to the location to measure and see space of project. The wood tones incorporated with her modern kitchen was the ideal look she wanted to accomplish. Our client contacted us interested in manufacturing a butcher block counter top for her newly renovated kitchen. We were eager to tackle this project as we were excited to do a Waterfall edge counter top for a local clients kitchen.
