– pine board – wood glue – pocket hole jig and screws – brad nailer and nails – stain of choice and top coat (waterproof protectant)
Determine desired dimensions of your countertops. My depth was 18.5 so two 1×10’s. I had to “rip” 2.5” off one of the 1×10’s
step 1
Connect boards with wood glue and pocket hole jig and screws. I also clamped the boards together to minimize gaps at center seam. Once glue has dried, cut board to desired length.
step 2
Anchor top to framework with 18 gauge brad nails or your choice of screws
step 3
Stain your countertop with desired color. Once stain has dried, apply two coats of a waterproof top coat to protect your new wood countertops.
