I would start with the boos block oil and once you have used that then switch to the cream. Apply the oil in repeating costs until the wood no longer sucks it up but rather let's it sit until the next morning then apply the cream. I had an antique butcher block that had not been oiled in about 20 years, it took 2 bottles of oil before it was sealed then I asked the cream. The cream contains wax so wood should be well seasoned before you use it. Once done first time reuse one time per month Hope that helps.

I would use plain mineral oil for the first couple of coats, then switch to the Board Cream. I'm guessing it will take a couple more coats at that point to get it fully into the wood. Allow it to soak in overnight at least between coats. A tube of the Board Cream should be enough for that first treatment, but that's just a guess. (All my boards are end grain, and being Boos boards, came already treated.)

My guess is that you would use about three quarters of one tube during the initial application. I use this product on a butcher block top kitchen island about once a month to maintain a moisture/stain barrier on the natural wood. The wood absorbs less board cream after the initial application so you probably wouldn't use that much ever time you apply it.

I did a full countertop and an island. I goofed on the island and had to do I section over. After I finished the project I still had a little left over which I discarded. Just don't put it on heavy.Take your time and you will like the results

You'll still want to apply a standard finish. This just colors the wood, it doesn't protect it in any way

As a rule of thumb, this will cover approximately 200 square feet per quart. However, it depends on how you use it. Staining will take less than if you're trying to get a paint effect. If it's the initial coat, it'll require more than if you're covering over another finish. If you'd like more specifics, please feel free to contact Woodcraft's Technical Services at 1-800-535-4486.

I did a table and 4 chairs, and my window sills and still have over 3/4 of it left. My answer, a lot of wood!

Here is a link to the oak finish. I think it's the closest to natural you will find in this brand. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008HQPRKC/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1362487566&sr;=8-6π=SL75

Raw wood or a barely-there finish. I'd finish it first before putting it in a window.

We used 1/2 in plywood and it cut nice. I do not think you would have any problems with oak.

Agree that 3 rolls will be enough. I only went up from floor about 45 inches and trimmed the top with wood trim (white) so I used less. It does look like wood. Also agree with the comment about the seams - use care. Love the paper, good quality.

Well, it really depends if you need to do one coat or two. I have a 1,000 square ft house, minus the bathroom and kitchen it's about 800 square ft of hardwood. I had to use two bottles to do two coats all over (ended up being about a bottle and a half). You really have to lay the stuff on thick to get that good shine.

I'd suggest looking at your decor. We have a kitchen with mostly stainless steel appliances and brownish tiles, so the combination of the silver front and the light-colored wood looks good there.

If I had to give a percentage, I would say about 85%, if not more. The exterior is stained cherry, but it is definitely a type of hardwood. I absolutely adore mine for its functionality, as well as its elegant design.

The side behind the file drawer is thin finished particle board. It is tacked on with small nails. Not too noticeable. Looks good.

Hello each box/kit is 16 sft which you would need to create a Versailles patter, aka French pattern. How many sft do you need? Please add approx 20% waste factor while calculating. Edge is for show. Your grout will cover all. Sanded grout is preferable. please have the floor sealed once installed. Let us know if any other questions. Thanks Premierworldwide

My vanity is custom built, by myself, from a kitchen table I chopped up and reworked. It's 1 inch thick. There is easily another inch of threading after the nut, so it will allow for up to two inch thick countertop. More than plenty!

1/2" per...example: if your drawer opening is 12" build your drawer box @ 11"
