I’m a contractor with 30 years under my belt doing some very nice custom homes. But I have never done a butcher block countertop and I found this very helpful good job

I am 5 yrs beyond being "over" Farmhouse style, but, butcher block enhances other styles, as well. Thx, good tutorial.

I installed some butcher block with my granite counters; hard rock maple. I sanded with 50 grit just one pass, then tack clothed; then one pass of 120 grit, then tack clothed, then applied a wood conditioner. Then sanded with 220 and tack clothed. Then stained the wood. Then applied 3 coats of tung oil. The counters have been water and stain resistant. I waited a day between the wood conditioner and the stain and another day between stain and first coat of tung oil and then a day between each extra coat of tung oil. You MUST stay clear of the counters in between. The counters are smooth as silk and beautiful. I absolutely love them.

Thank you for this!!!! I wish I could post a pic of mine. I just finished cutting my sinkhole. I was so afraid of doing the corners until I saw this video. This made it easy.

3:45, It's best to cut from the bottom side to achieve the best cut for the visible surface. That is with a circular saw, with a table saw it's good side up.

Thanks for everything I've learned in these 11:42 seconds. I'll be on my way to Home Depot to buy everything I need now.

I love the look of white cabinets, white farm sink and beautiful butcher blocks. This looks lovely!

Informative video. Question: do you seal between the joints. to stop water or any other fluid from going in there. I did not see that being addressed. thank you

Just did this in our house. This video helped immensely!

This is a great video. Used it to install our butcher block. Love it.

Seeing that saw guide was helpful. I can just use a circular for cutting jobs.

Beautiful. Way more than I'm capable of handling but I sure admire your work.

[Gstonesheat]

Great video, what brand of oil did you use to stain it?

Looks awesome! Glad to see some decent tutorials.

10:44, if yo are gluing do not use purple primer. get some clear primer. Primer is easily dripped or splashed and it rapidly stains things. Clear glue also.
