In this video I show how I made a wooden countertop for a kitchen island that is made from multiple types of wood that results in a multi-colored countertop. The countertop is 39" x 84" (99 cm x 213 cm) and it is about 1 5/8" (42 mm) thick. I built a router sled so that I could flatten the large countertop after it was glued up.
The types of wood used in the countertop are walnut, cherry, padauk, hickory, ambrosia maple, red grandis, and hickory. I used TotalBoat epoxy to glue up the wood pieces to give me a long open time.
You can find items I use in my projects at my Amazon storefront at www.amazon.com/shop/woodumakeit.

Speaking as an Architect, to create something like this, from the inception you have to imagine the end product before any timber has been milled. Kudos to you. Imagination is so underated in our tech age.

I've spent the last month making a dining table that looks almost exactly like this, but I did it out of 3/4-in scrap I bought from a cabinet maker. Definitely less complex to do it with actual full-size lumber, but I love watching you make so many of the same choices I've been made for mine. Looks amazing!

@schmerer1
@schmerer1 11 месяцев назад
This is beautiful and really appreciate the tips on how to make it, which I certainly would. One question: With so many different kinds of wood, did you not worry about the different rates of expansion and if that would break the glue joints?
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
I don't think the glue joints will break because they're stronger than the wood, but there's a possibility that the wood could crack or warp. Nowadays with good climate control indoors, I'm hopeful that it won't happen. I didn't install it, but hopefully it was installed to permit some movement. It's four months old and no problems so far. Time will tell, though.

I wish more of the folks I work with liked the look of real woodgrain. Most of the stuff I make gets painted (or that tacky "distressed" look) so I don't get to do much with exotics but I can't get enough. Always love to see it on display. Did I notice a bit of Dexcom hardware there at one point?

@beverleythomas5708 11 месяцев назад
Beautiful! And yes, this is something I would try. 😊 Would the open time for epoxy be shorter in a hot and very humid climate though? I recently had a rough time doing a Polyurethane glue-up. It started foaming before I even applied water to the other mating surface.
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
I've used epoxy in 90+ degree weather with high humidity and have never had an issue. The recommended temperature range on the label is 70-80 degrees but I think you'd be ok in your climate.

Wow, this looks great in the home! I have good memories of tung oil on those colored woods. What are your thoughts on tung oil for chessboards?
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
I think tung oil would be a great finish for chess boards. It's so easy to apply and maintain that it would be a good option. I hope I can convince a client to use that at some point. I made a cribbage board last week that I finished with tung oil and it turned out really nice. I'll release a video of that in a few weeks.

@dougdiamond299
@dougdiamond299 11 месяцев назад
Great job and I love the combo of colors. Is the ambrosia maple hard enough for a counter top? I just always thought of it as a soft wood. I love the contrast.
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
Ambrosia maple is typically classified as a soft maple but it's still pretty hard. It has about the same hardness as cherry. It should be fine for the countertop.

I figured the bottom was good enough to be attached to the cabinet without flattening it. I did apply finish to the bottom, though.

Loved the build. What is the paper you put underneath the top before gluing?
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 10 месяцев назад
I use parchment paper because the glue doesn't stick to it and it's inexpensive. I can get a few uses out of each piece before I have to throw it away.

@Woodumakeit

I didn't use any stain on this countertop, but pure tung oil is extracted from nuts of the tung tree, so it is all natural and food-safe.

Is epoxy as strong as wood glue?
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
Epoxies are stronger than wood glue. The trade-off is that epoxy is more expensive. Either would have been strong enough but epoxy was perfect for this application.

Why epoxy instead of wood glue ?
@Woodumakeit
@Woodumakeit 11 месяцев назад
Wood glue has an assembly time of only 5-10 minutes. I needed much more time than that with so many pieces to glue to and to get all the clamps in place. Even something like Titebond Extend would have given me enough time to get everything assembled. Epoxy is ideal because it gives plenty of time to get everything in place with no time pressure which can lead to mistakes.

I love the product but your router sled is a bit off. Your sled looks like it is sitting on the piece, which could cause the sled to not be straight. Your sled should be off the piece so the shape of the piece does not interfere with it.

It was probably hard to see in the video but it was actually riding on two 2x4s that served as rails along each side. I ran the 2x4s through my jointer to be sure they were flat.
