Breakfast bar

[trigger_andy]

Knocked up a quick breakfast bar from sub-par oak I had knocking about. The slab was blued from wire fencing. Will just be in place for a few months until we start the new kitchen/Dining room upgrade.

 

Was a good chance to practice my mortising though.

That’s a beauty, being a total clueless chump about milling but very much an envious fan of those that can…..would oxalic acid remove stains such as this ?
Posts like yours make me want to learn how to mill Sir

Thank you.

No, nothing will remove the staining unfortunately, its ingrained, it’s apart of the timber now.

Milling is certainly addictive. The initial struggle is waiting for your first batch to season but after a few years you’ll have more timber than you know what to do with.

I’ll be starting a matching (semi-matching) Butcher Block Island tomorrow. Digging through my stash and found a whole bunch of 2”&3” thick boards that will suit for the skirt and rails.

This is the Slab I’ll be going with for the top. Cut to 60” x 24” x5” It’s in at the local Joiners getting planned square and fed through their drum sander a few times.
