You did a great job!<br /><br />I am a woodworker and make alot of butcher blocks and cutting boards. As you get nicks, knife marks, etc. you can apply mineral oil to that area. I use mineral oil on the raw wood of all my boards. Then I apply a mineral oil and beeswax mixture that I make (Board Butter). Check out my site..<br /><br />Your home is lovely!!<br /><br /><br />Michael<br /><a href="http://michaelswoodcraft.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/this-week/" rel="nofollow">Cutting Board for Ina Garten</a><br /><br /><a href="http://michaelswoodcraft.wordpress.com/category/wood-conditioner-2/" rel="nofollow">Board Butter for cutting boards</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405346187589957794.post-7700636874414253772013-08-26T15:28:30.313-05:002013-08-26T15:28:30.313-05:00andrea, your home is gorgeous! i just love seeing ...andrea, your home is gorgeous! i just love seeing the way you're renovating and the thoughtfulness that goes into each decorating choice. so pretty. i have been woefully amiss in reading blogs lately but i just wanted to pop-in and say hello. hello! xoKatrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16890334926669879532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405346187589957794.post-51504202346057906492013-08-23T09:44:40.363-05:002013-08-23T09:44:40.363-05:00Good morning!

We had wood tops for almost 10 years, we made them from old oak hardwood flooring we found in our barn, they were beautiful, wonderful and amazing. Well, 2011 we had to redo our kitchen and we decided to change and put in quartz, knowing all the time I would never love them like I did the wooden ones. Needless to say I almost grieve over the loss of those beautiful counter tops. After spending so much money on the quartz I can't just take them out, even though I would love to beat them to pieces with a sledge hammer! I hate them with the same intensity that I loved my wood tops! mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061582747722109338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405346187589957794.post-19444592788277482862013-08-20T10:20:17.778-05:002013-08-20T10:20:17.778-05:00We used Ikea's butcher block counter tops when...We used Ikea's butcher block counter tops when we redid our kitchen in 2011.

I'm still debating between buying something or having Justus build something that will fit just right. :-) Well, it depends... if I'm just doing a really light sand (like with 400 grit paper), I'll just do it by hand, but in the case of the knife mark, I used an electric sander. I love my mouse sander! Hope you have a great week.

A cute little foot stool would be perfect for the opening under the window. When reapplying a touch up coat to the countertops, do you use an electric sander or simply sand by hand before putting on a fresh coat? It's time for me to apply another coat to mine. And yes, they hold up incredibly well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405346187589957794.post-81377681536904367562013-08-20T01:00:14.731-05:002013-08-20T01:00:14.731-05:00I love your blog-it is one of my top favorites.

We have wooden, sort-of butcher block countertops in our current rental house but they are horribly done, not all one piece but instead planks with all sorts of unevenness, and always look filthy and just have major issues in general. I don't know what possessed the owners to install something like this! I would love to replace with solid, smooth butcher block like you have (if we weren't still renting).
