The butchers block

05 May 2008

This was a satisfying project. I was asked to revive a tired looking butchers block island work surface. I removed it from the units below and set it up outside for sanding. I raised the grain with a wipe down of white spirits and got to work. Using 4 different grades of paper I sanded down to new wood and a smooth finish. After carefully removing all the dust with a tack cloth I applied 3 coats of raw linseed oil with over night drying/absorbtion between each.

The oil really brought the grain back to life and my customers were very happy. Job done..!
