We recently remodeled our master bathroom and I couldn't stomach spending $1,000 or more for a new stone slab (we were keeping the cabinet base and painting the white). So, we got the idea to make our own custom countertop from...wood! How do you make a wood countertop for a bathroom vanity? Is it a good idea? Will the wood absorb shower steam and faucet splash? In this video, I answer these questions and more. Watch me actually make one from start to finish, step-by-step. Total cost for wood plus stain/sealer? Around $100!! Good luck with your remodel!

Should have pin nailed the end trims on before u installed. Would have made tighter joints and easier install
Thank you for doing this installation video. Poplar wood is referenced as a soft wood, yellow pine is harder and compared to oak or walnut or birch., poplar does not take stain very well and should not be utilized for trim pieces unless you are on a tight budget. I hate poplar wood, years ago no one even considered it for cabinetry, doors windows or trim. It is considered trash wood.
And has only become popular in the last 5 years in my area.
Very nice thats some poppin poplar... I would have installed the faucet with sink outta the way same with the drain
Poppin' poplar - love the comment! Good tip, for sure. Thanks.
Excellent job! And mostly one-handed! And I would have never guess you used poplar board, I thought it was a $300 butcher block!
Appreciate the compliment! Yes, popular with a trim piece is pretty durable and looks beautiful.
Wait! everything but a link to that beautiful wood piece 😫 can you share? N amazing work
How did I miss that? Okay - just added links to description. I recommend buying wood locally so you can hand-pick for quality and color matching. Two of the links contain the actual wood dimensions I bought: (1) poplar board 6' x 24" at 1" thick and (2) a matching 1" x 2" in a 10' length to be used as front and side trim as see in the video.
Thanks for the finishing Description!!
Sure thing!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Your videos are so informative, I really appreciate it as a beginner, thank you! Can you tell me what drill bit you used to get through the wood? Brand & size please
Yes, I used a hole saw drill bit to cut circles for faucet. Check the 3rd link in the description for a set with various sizes and good reviews. Hope this helps.
super brilliant !!
Thanks!
Very nice video very well explained 👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Great job did you use kitchen cabinets for the bathroom vanity
Thanks! No, the cabinets were part of the vanity already. I just painted them from dark stain to white.
Please tell me how I can achieve that wood color? I'm looking to complete my bathroom vanity that color. Thanks
I did four coats on poplar!
I think that the square drain on the countertop doesn’t work , how did you screw the mounting nut ?
It was wide enough to easily tighten up
Could you skip the side trim pieces and just do the main board wall to wall?
I don't see why not. The only reason I added them was because my walls were about 1/2" wider than the cheaper poplar board. Had my board been long enough, I would not have used the side trim pieces and gone directly to the wall.
How do you secure the sinks?
Drains and 100% silicone!
May I ask where did u buy the block of wood?
Of course! I bought this at Menards.
Linseed oil?
No, but that'd probably look very nice!
What is the sealant you used?
It's called Waterlox - I put a link in the description. If it's not there or link doesn't work, let me know and I can update it.
Considering to make this project on our guest bathroom.
2 years later, how has this held up? Any bowing or expanding?
Great question. No, all is well two years later - zero issues!
