Dad making counter tops...
 |
 |
| For the the main counter tops, Dad took 3" thick pine slabs and cut 1 finished edge on each. He then drilled holes for dowels and then glued them together - which doubled their width. In the above pictures he's doing some edge sanding. | |
 |
The surfaces were pretty
rough so Dad got a 4 head floor sander. It made relatively short work
of what would have been an excruciatingly long process with a hand
disk sander. |

| Above is a picture of one of the slabs in place. We still need to pour a clear, thick fiberglass resin over the top, but at least it's sanded & cut to fit. There will be 2 other countertops like this one. | |
