I subscribe to FWW & enjoy reading it, although it is far, far above my skill level. I'm putting together a small butcherblock (about 21" by 32") for my wife to place on our granite counter to work on. It's 12 hard maple boards of just under 2" wide each. I saw an article in FWW about how to do perfect glue ups so I read it. It can't be this complicated, they go into formulas for the number of clamps, pressure on each clamp based on sq. inches of the top , different pressure for different types of wood, etc, etc. I just want to glue up my butcherblock, given that it's 32" long, how many clamps would you recommend I use on it? I plan to just glue up one board at a time and use Titebond III glue
What would you finish it with?.
Thanks
Dennis
