I’m more of a solid wood guy, learned a bit about chipboard here, for example to avoid it where possible. But the countertop is real wood :) We haven’t got much space, so you have to build stuff.

      Thanks, the Birchwood plate was on discount, my wife wanted waterproof, so it’s waterproof varnish, 3 layers with sanding, semi gloss. That was actually really fun, the laminated chipboard corpus not so much. I don’t know, that stuff is resistant and very sensitive on all the wrong places. At least I had a chance to try out a new jointer /drilling jig.
