Kitchen Remodel 1 - Slabs of wood to AMAZING DIY Countertops - Wood countertops on a Budget

Major kitchen renovation/remodel. Living off-grid and working with cash and free wood we make our dream kitchen. This is the first video in a series on this kitchen remodel. In this video we will go over what this DIY kitchen project is about and the initial steps involved in taking the rough lumber to the finished wood countertop. We used 2" thick oak that was given to us by a friend (we were on a budget) and had to deal with multiple large cracks, some areas of wood rot, etc, but the end result is beautiful and the grain patterns are out of this world. This is an exciting kitchen countertop replacement. Feel free to use these kitchen renovation ideas for yourself. You will want to make sure you catch the whole series which will be posted over time. Thanks for watching.
