And believe me I had sanded the dickens out of them. But what I've noticed is that the more they are used the more wonderful they get. Mine (especially on my island) are slick and smooth now. There is one area in the corner next to my refrigerator that doesn't get the use as much and it is not as slick as the rest of them, but certainly not rough. I do wonder about the wood though as my daughter purchased some IKEA Oak and is has never gotten as slick as the Birch seems to get. So it may be the kind of wood also. I personally would give it some time - a few months at least. If you feel like it isn't improving, there is certainly no harm in sanding and re-oiling. Also, oiling every few months is key too, for the first year at least. You can always email me if you want to discuss it more in-depth. redfeedsack@gmail.com Thanks for reading and commenting! - Dori -Dori at The Red Feedsackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600940689338767875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-75344316037991782562014-12-02T14:40:07.440-06:002014-12-02T14:40:07.440-06:00Hi Dori, I made the pinto beans & relish (minu...Hi Dori, I made the pinto beans & relish (minus the chopped onions) for my family last night and the meal was delicious!! I'm so happy when you post recipes and craft how-too's, as we can all learn from you. :) I have a question re: the butcher block counters that we recently installed. We too applied several coats of tung oil mixed with orange solvent and they're beautiful but rough. I was hoping you'd be able to share if you had this same problem and what you did?

Enjoy this time with your parents and savor it. You're blessed to have a strong and positive relationship with them. I know several people who don't and I always think how sad that is. Saying a prayer that your mom recovers quickly,<br />ClaudiaMy Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-36186817695315437092014-11-20T05:57:38.966-06:002014-11-20T05:57:38.966-06:00Your mother is a beautiful woman.

Sounds like more sweet memories are about to be made. Also, thank you for your lovely card. I was so excited to get it. :0) I finally found the card making supplies from Hobby Lobby (thanks for the tip) and our bigger girls and I got to work making some "get well soon" cards for our neighbor's granddaughter. She had to have her appendix taken out. She's 7 and resting at home now. Thanks for the encourage and great ideas. Will email you an update soon.
