Wow, don't want to be negative, but you should sand in the direction of the grain of the wood.

I forget which Waterlox product I used at my last house, but it was fussier than this and required sanding between coats. I had put plastic up from floor to ceiling and created a “clean room”. Well, when I opened my windows in the clean room, don’t you know my neighbor decided to take down a tree and leaf blow the shavings off his driveway toward my house. The dust made it through my screens and landed all over the wet finish… I DIED. 😂 it all came out great and in the end was beautiful. When you mentioned threatening your family, I totally felt you! Lol Great video. Really nice job! ❤

Good video. A couple questions if you don't mind. Did the satin finish dry smooth? It looks smooth in the video, but there isn't a really, really close up shot so I can't tell for sure. Can you say what color you used to stain the counters originally? Also, I noticed your sink is undermount, any problems / regrets? I just bought a dual mount sink and prefer undermount but I'm not sure its a good idea if I go with butcher block. Thanks Cheers! (nice animals out the window too btw :-)

I just received a custom maple top from HD. I was told up front it would take up to 2 months because the plant was shutting down for a few days over Christmas. It took about 6 weeks, The top is 29 deep x 1.5 x 128, maple $1500. I was told Swaner Hardwoods in Burbank CA was the supplier. I called directly to get some general question answered, very good customer service btw. The top arrived well packaged and stamped Boos Blocks made in Illinois. Amazing top, solid strips, NO finger joints. Very happy.

Probably worth pointing out that Waterlox actually does not recommend using these two finishes together. They recommend the Universal Tung Oil Sealer and then add the finish over that. The first product she used was a sealer and finish in one.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I Never, Never leave comments or correct people. However, whenever you sand wood, you Always go with the grain of the wood, which would be horizontally and never circular. Otherwise, you may see those circular sanded areas when finished. ❤Thanks again for sharing.

Walnut tops are stuning after finishing. Teak is great for countertops too. A very important step is to polyurethane the under side before installation. It will prevent the wood from absorbing moisture. Wood is much more stable when all six sides are finished.

Do the Waterlox products you used protect the wood from dents & dings? Me and my husband are debating how to finish our butcher-block countertop Island and he says he wants to use tung oil the way you said you did at first. I want more protection and less maintenance than that. These Waterlox products seem like what I want.

You can still get dings, but not as easily as when I only had tung oil protecting it. So glad I made the switch to Waterlox. It's much more durable than before.
