I'm fixing to build some new kitchen counter tops out of rough cut 2x4 oak (I have the hookup with a guy that has a mobile saw mill). Any ideas as what to finish it with? Never done anything like this.
no idea, but they've been cut for a month or soJust out of curiosity, how do you plan to check the wood's moisture content before gluing up the countertop.
