Work Top Refurbishment




Yet another difficult job for me to take on as you will see the poor condition of the three worktops.
I wish that I had taken a picture of the centre island top before I started work that's just me wanting to jump in and get started, however, at least I managed to take some pictures to be able to show you the before and after works completed.
The tops are made of solid Walnut and had the usual black burnt ring marks caused by pans being placed straight onto the wooden surface instead of putting them onto a protective base.
Well, I scraped off the old surface using a very sharp blade made of tungsten carbide; a blade made of this material lasts many times longer than a steel blade.
Once all the old finish had been removed, it was now time to start to sandpaper off the entire remaining residue.
Thankfully whilst sanding the surface luckily for me the ring marks finally disappeared, I was so pleased that this had happened, as I knew that my Client would be delighted with my work, therefore, another satisfied customer.
Just had to go over the surface, I used Danish oil as this penetrates the surface and gives a long-lasting finish, and so easy to maintain for my client, after a quick explanation and then let my client have a go at oiling the surface to see how easy it really is.
Do not forget any oiled rags used must be wetted and placed in an outside rubbish bin, as they can be prone to self-combustion if not properly dealt with.

See for yourselves, the standards I set for my work.
