Soft rocks in the process of making the tabletop should not be used. A tabletop is a place in the kitchen where we constantly cut, we prick, chop and beat something.

We select dry boards of one thickness
Making a carpentry shield - is the arrangement of pre-prepared elements. The main details of the wood panel are wooden boards. But first, they must be specially processed.
Cutting boards of the required size
We process the surface of all boards with a planer and jointer
Level the surface of the board material with a plane. Sandpaper carefully polished surface. After grinding, the prepared material must be treated with an antiseptic.

They have a huge selection in hardware stores, but note that you need a solution for interior work. Antiseptic protects the tree from the excess moisture, in excess of the existing kitchen, will prevent the occurrence of mold and insects.
You can connect parts together in several ways.
Clamps for gluing individual boards into one tabletop
Edging is the easiest, but note the most unreliable mounting method. Suitable for making products of small sizes with a minimum load. With short-term use, the surface of the tabletop will be covered with small cracks, and in the future such a product can simply crumble.
Using an electric jigsaw, in the side ends of the blanks, we cut the grooves with a depth of about 1 cm
Thorn-groove technology - this solution is more acceptable for joining tabletop parts, but if durability is an important element for you, then we strongly recommend using the following board mounting option.
In the grooves of half of the boards, glue the mounting rail, then connect the boards with the slats with those that have free slots
The groove-comb method gives the most stable result. He is well known to those involved in the assembly of the race or the installation of wooden flooring.
Ways of joining wooden parts in joinery
If the master does not have special equipment at home, it is difficult to make smooth edges. Do not get upset in advance. It is necessary to contact the specialists, they will process the material on a milling machine.
Note that the depth of the grooves should be 10-12 centimeters; when using a thin board, the depth of the grooves is reduced to 6-7 centimeters.
Now the boards are fully ready to assemble the finished product. Boards are divided into two types. The first board has a groove, the second rail. It is necessary to fit the groove tightly with the rail. Boards firmly glued together. We get a solid tabletop.
The resulting finished canvas must be sanded, coated with a primer and coated with decorative varnish. Make the opening varnish better in several layers.
The color of the surface of the product, if desired, can be changed. Surface tinted stain on the tree under any shade. Do this before coating the product with varnish. It must be remembered, after varnishing the tree has the ability to change the original color, it becomes darker.

Fastening the wooden tabletop
The table top is fully prepared, ready for installation. First you need to install the lower parts of the cabinets on the place of permanent location. Care is needed, there is no room for error, otherwise we will spoil the product. Required accuracy in the calculations. The cabinet under the sink should be located near the sewer drain, the surface of the stove should be located in the immediate vicinity of the gas pipe. Be sure to consider the location of the outlets. We smear the tops of the cabinets, the ends of the previously acquired wood glue. We put the tabletop on top of the cabinets, fasten with screws or screws. Now the top panel is firmly fixed. A small gap formed between the surface and the wall must be closed with furniture plinth. The edges of the installed slats are covered with caps.
