Great work it really looks nice.
I wasn't smart enough to use separate pieces of wood around my stove:(
Times like this it becomes apparent that I'm good at following directions.... I'll know better for "next time"
While I did use different wood and some stain I didn't use different stain on the 2 woods, also used polyurethane but not one as shiny as yours.
3 coats with sanding and mineral spirit wipe downs between.
I can't tell by your pics, did you leave a lip UP on the top of the counters?
I did, figured the extra 3/8ths" being left UP, would stop things from sliding off and if not it will tip them over for bigger more spectacular spills.
I'm working on lighting and filling all the staple holes w/ wood putty, and the cracks along cabinets w/ flexible stuffs in a tube.
So close, yet not there, YET.
