Ok so I've finally finished the Kitchen :happy-partydance: well apart from a few niggly bits :handgestures-thumbdown:

Darlin Yummymummy wanted an Oak bench top.

So only after I had to cut out a huge fucken chunck for the sink to fit in did the cogs finally click.

Thats a lot of fucken Oak :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Questions:
Does anyone know what/where Ikea Oak comes from?

As its lots of laminated strips,40x40mm ,and oiled,can it be used for Oaking ?

I'm thinking cut along the lamination joins to piss off the glue then plain off the top layer to piss of the oil,Does this sound like too much bother ?

I personally would not fuck with it :handgestures-thumbdown:

You can get good oak cheap as chips that you know exactly what it is :handgestures-thumbupleft:

would be interesting to do a test..... maybe it would laminate and flat pack your booze too :D

Mmmm nice chopping block i think :)

Might be worth a try ,sure smells like Oak and I've got shit loads to play with.

Don't talk about fucken flat packs Mac,had 98 packages arrive in a 5 ton truck :angry-banghead:

@ Sam and Liv, Thats my initial thoughts too but maybe can't be as bad as the shit I've had from HBS .

@ Stevem109r ,Thats what yummymummy says .I says she's got enough already

Problem is Yummy when you see that in plain and toasted oak that spirit is absorbed all the way through...only when oak is heavily charred I think that t doesn't absorb in...so what do you think happened with the glue for the laminate??

I wouldn't even think about touching it. I'm with Sam; fuck it off, decent oak is cheap :handgestures-thumbdown:
