Thanks, great video! Appreciate the time lapse and showing the reality of this project, cracks and fixing them. Hope mine turns out as lovely as yours!
Absolutely. I hope you learn from my mistakes. I try to never be afraid to show my mistakes because we are all going to make mistakes. It’s doesn’t matter that we make mistakes, it matters how we recover from our mistakes. Good luck with your project. Send me pictures from your project.
I would be glad to. Truth be told, I sold that house and I no longer live there. However I lived in it for a better part of year with this sink and never had any issues. Ones careful to apply silicone so that no unfinished wood would be exposed to water. I applied ample amount of poly on the surface. I felt like it would have held up for many years. Thanks for asking. I hope this helps.
Did you use Oil Based or Water Based PolyUrethane for the finish? How do you think it'll hold up against water stains? Do you think you will have to recoat it at any point?
I just used a minwax water based poly. I tend to use oil based on most of my projects that I do now because I think the oil based gets harder and has a more of a solid surface. I would say that for how many coats of poly that I applied it is totally water resistant. I read that it is smart to recoat wood sinks every couple of years. I hope this info helps.
Dropping in to congratulate you on a great project! The hiccup in the middle is very specific to projects like these that remove a lot of the inside of the block. As you found, remedies are available. We hope to see your bath vanity project in the DIY Butcher Block Awards too! Enter before Dec. for awards and bragging rights: hardwoodreflections.com/diyawards

Thank you so much for this! Really enjoyed watching it. Gave me the confidence to give my basement washroom a go.
That’s awesome. That’s why I film the things I do.
I would love to see pics or a vid of your project.
Thanks for commenting.
Can you give an update as to how it has held up? Any issues with water/wood
I would be glad to.

Looks great! What type of wood is your butcher block
The wood is Acacia. Please check the links in the description. I have tried to make it easy for everyone to see exactly what I used in this project.
Dude put your fixtures on the sinks b4 you install, …good videos man
I thought about doing that. Everything was so tight that I worried that I would mess the sinks up and then not be able to return them afterwards.
I'm in the process of doing the same in my bathroom.
That's great.
It was a fun project and well worth it in the end.
Please come back and update me on how it went.
Did you just let the backsplash touch wood to wood or did you use caulk or something
I silicones underneath and I silicones the seam.
I think that is what you are asking.
what size bit did u use on the router?
I used the second smallest round over bit in my set.
I hope that helps.

Well,
Thanks for watching.
I am glad you liked the project.
I am a little late to enter the contest, but maybe next time.
Insane amount of ads, didn’t make it through….
Sorry about that. RUclips has been doing that lately.
I have premium. It’s worth it.
