America's Leading Manufacturer of Innovative Water-Based Wood Finishes
Wow! Look at this great butcher block by Ultimate DIY Guy!
Wood Bowl Finish is a durable oil-and-urethane oil-based finish designed for decorative wooden bowls and turnings. For countertops actively used for chopping and cutting, use Butcher Block Oil instead.
Some pieces of wood contain a lot of oil and walnut can be finicky.
The oil in the walnut wood may be causing the problem you've described - a longer dry time might have been needed over an oily wood. If the wood does not dry over the next few days then it may be necessary to sand down and start over.
Unfortunately, if the first coat does not dry, the second will never dry.
It's Woodworker Wednesday and this week we're excited to feature Dave Picciuto of The Drunken Woodworker! Inspired to create affordable photo frames for himself, Dave discovered the art of woodworking and never looked back.
What a beautiful day for Woodworker Wednesday! This week features Silvia Song, an artist and woodworker who seeks to combine form and function with beauty and simplicity in a truly minimalistic style. We can't get enough of those gorgeous hand-turned and indigo-dyed maple bowls!
GF is rather conservative regarding the life of our Milk paint. Water based products do not last forever, even when unopened. General Finishes products are best used within 1-2 years.
It depends on the type of use you plan for your butcher-block top and the look you want.
If it is a statement piece and not intended for high use, almost any finish would work. General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Topcoat is a good choice. If you intend to prep or chop food General Finishes Butcher Block Oil should be applied.
Butcher Block Oil is a natural protectant for all wood surfaces that come in contact with food. Use this oil-based finish on wood cutting boards, utensils, bowls and butcher blocks.
