Bad Idea? Solid Cherry Kitchen Island Top

This simple, but beautiful kitchen island top is made from solid 6/4 cherry wood. The top is finished with Osmo Wood Protector as a base coat and then three coats of equal parts boiled linseed oil (BLO), Satin Poly and mineral spirits.

This kitchen island top was a custom commission. Made from solid 6/4 cherry wood and finished with OSMO wood protector and then a few coats of an oil and poly blend.

Great work dude 👏👏

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Thank you so much!

Great job, jealous of your shop. My only concern is the paint thinner on wood where food will be.

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Thanks for watching. That thinner should flash off quickly and I always tell my clients to give the finish two weeks to fully cure before heavy use.

Some of the clips were a tad dark, but overall, I enjoyed the video 😊

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

I agree. Something happened in the KZbin encoding during upload and processing that I need to look into.

[@speedralph]

Great piece. Thank you for labelling all the stages. Didi you do a final sanding after raising the grain?

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Yes I did. Very light and quick sanding with 220.

[@speedralph]

Nice one. Thanks. I'd love to try something like this 👍

The lightning in your workshop needs to be brighter...more of a natural light ambiance

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

It's actually something with the way KZbin encoded the video after I uploaded it. My shop is actually really bright. I need to research what happened there because in editing it is not dark at all. Thanks for watching!

[@nevillesmith9795]

Just a question. Why didnt your chalk triangles not match at the tips after glueing the boards

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Good catch! To get the desired final width, I actually had to trim some of the boards down. When I did the initial layout, they were a bit oversized.

Beautiful job! May I suggest shortening your videos.

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Noted. I'm still figuring out a flow on here so thank you for that feedback

@@vanvleetwoodworking but truly beautiful work, amazing attention to detail.

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

Thanks, I do appreciate it!

[@jdawkins111]

definitely don't shorten your videos. that's nonsense.

[@powderdays7557]

@@jdawkins111 what I meant by that is. I don't need to see every board being plain, jointed, glued and clamped. But that's just me.
