The missus wants new counter tops and she is pushing for the design I used (copied) to make end grain cutting boards and to make a small end table -- pic attached.
The counter top has to be 30 inches wide and the longest section (1 of 3) has to be 8 feet.
Do I approach this project the same as I did when making the end grain cutting boards? I visualize glueing boards of different species side by side about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. Then cross cutting these and glueing them up so that I end up with a “cutting board” 2 x 3 feet. Then go on to the next one and son on until I reach the desired length.
Then of course glueing all the “cutting boards” together.
Am I on the right track? Any things I should be looking out for? I do have a friend who has a 36" wide heavy duty sander that would smooth out any variations in thickness from the glued sections.
Appreciate suggestions/ideas.
