Wood breakfast bar

8 years ago

I'm looking for a real rustic wooden bench top to creat a breakfast bar. All the wood I can find is overseas. Where would I be able to get this in the UK?

I really love your dining table and chairs (clever 'other half'). Could he build another one, same height, same lovely wood, (maybe a bit shorter) which you could place at right angles to the island - to give you loads of worktop space, areas to place things before you take them to your dining area. etc. (Maybe work out a way to have a nice lamp on it to make it cosy.) And that you can then attach it, to your big table to make a really magnificent long banquet dining table for high days and holidays?

I was told to drill large bolts from underneath and also bond it with glue. I decided that people would probably lean on it and it might not last and end up looking awful. Also if I ever removed it I would be left with holes in the worktop so opted for the granite to extended over the end to make a breakfast bar instead. It works better because I get a larger island top to work on.

One or two observations: Oak breathes, in as much as when wet it will expand and when dry it shrinks, that's why it is good for boat and barrel building, when wet the gaps close up and make it watertight. What that means for a worktop is that unless the wood is stabilised (soaked through with epoxy) it will expand and contract, if glued to the granite that means when expanding it will warp, staying still where the glue is and bending downward, not much but it will. Perhaps a less porous wood could be better, bamboo is good, then, if the counter top end is flush, you could screw and/or glue a stout batten of matching material to the end of the counter to add support ( extend it out past the front of the counter to ad support to the overhang) then glue the block to the granite with epoxy and screw up through the batten.
