oak worktop

[scotty 82]

hi all

when i fit a laminated worktop i all ways do a mason mitre an look's the job,
but i've got a solid oak worktop to fit this weekend an was thinking about doing a straight butt joint cos think it will look better.
Do any of you do this or do you still mitre the worktop.

i would go for the butt joint with the bolts, biscuits and plenty of waterproof pva to seal the end grain
i have done it two other ways tho which is awkward to explain but actuaaly not hard to do
will draw a diagram and post later tonight for you

[speed]

but join is the way for timber

butt joint in timber tops, i go with bolts, silicone and biscuits personally i feel that the sili allows more movement than PVA
