  • Marine ply is not worth the BS stamp on it unless you are ordering from somewhere like Robbens that spec the veneer material and are actually building a boat that will be used in saltwater.

    If painting get WBP from a reputable supplier, if staining/varnishing then Birch.

    Smith’s epoxy sealer will make it waterproof.

  • I suppose I could also order a solid wood (maybe beech) length of 3m, and then I'll be left with loads of spare wood for projects.

    170x96cm is a pretty big chopping board.

  • Do you have access to restaurant /industrial supply places that do hardwood tops? We have a John Boos top in our kitchen but they're cheap enough to use for utility too, depending on budget.

  • If you haven't already ordered solid wood furniture boards may be worth a look, great quality and comes in other species too. It will come in thinner thicknesses than worktop which will make it easier to manoeuvre.
