Pic looks like you stained it after install?We used the same butcher block at the cabin, I thought I had taken a picture of the backsplash we did but can't find it, we basically just ripped down a piece of butcher block and ran it through the planer. Stained it the same color. Looks pretty sweet. I'll get a picture next time I go out.
I've never done this before but will be next week.
In my dumb head, it seems like fully staining and poly coating the countertop first before installing would make more sense, no? Just gotta mount & caulk it (BEEP).
Tell me what to do here..
Also thinking that mounting the backsplash (butcher strip like you did, looks good) with pocket screws before stain and seal.
Bad idea?
I've never replaced a countertop or cut a sink hole, all advice appreciated. Doesn't seem like rocket surgery but I don't want to wreck a $300 chunk of wood, either during installation or water damage over time.
