Countertop Miter Done
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I posted this as a reply to my other thread, but it's at the bottom of a long threadso I thought I'd just make a new post about it here.
I chose to go with a 90 instead of a long 45-ish miter on my countertop.

Here is a picture of the countertopwith the finished butt joint. I failed at getting the seam less noticeable than I had hoped, but it's more than acceptable to loml so I'll take the win.
I'm happy with it and that I chose to do the 90 instead of a 45 as this is visible from the dining room on the other side of the peninsula.


Here is a picture before I finished routing the corner. I purposefully did not chamfer the edge all the way to the corner, so that I could do that after final installation. I could have done that at the time of dry assembly in theworkshop, but then I would have had to fuss more about getting the router corner to match up.

The hardwood edge is hickory, which is not yet finished. That also was deliberate. I figured it might get scuffed during installation, so I'm opting to apply the finish after install. So next on the list of things to do is to scrape and sand the wood edge and get the finish on it asap.

thank you too all for your thoughts and insight on this project to date.
