How to make a very nice looking countertop yourself? Guillaume demonstrates his result in this DIY project. He ordered cut-to-size Birch plywood online to make this project. 

Description of Guillaume

We wanted a low profile and resistant wood for our kitchen countertop so we decided to choose birch plywood which have these exact characteristics. As mentioned on the website, plywood resists well to humidity, and impacts (like knife marks).

How I made this project

We ordered two 27mm thick plywood planks with almost perfect dimensions (you always need to make micro adjustments in kitchen building) which arrived in perfect condition thanks to the good yet efficient packaging. After cutting holes for the sink and the induction hob with a jigsaw we screwed the countertops to the cabinets from beneath. And after a light sand we finished with 3 layers of food safe clear & mat varnish on both countertops.

This is a project for inspiration. Because our assortment has changed, (some of) the products are no longer available.
