DIY Wood Herringbone Counters

I want to start by saying THANK YOU to all of you for your amazing comments and compliments after revealing the kitchen. You guys are the reason I love sharing on Hometalk. A few of you asked what my island countertop was made of and when I responded, I was asked for a tutorial. So… here it is!
While working on my kitchen island I knew I wanted to do something I haven’t seen before. Something different. Something unique. Then it hit me. I walked into the garage, grabbed a few scraps of wood and started playing around. What I came up with was a herringbone pattern!

I began by laying a piece of plywood over the area. I opted for 1/2″ because it gave more structure. I screwed it into the cabinet base – checking for level along the way (and adding shims as needed).

Next, I did a rough layout of how I wanted the counters to look.
