I have white woodwork in my kitchen and dark wood floors. We are planning on putting new stainless steel appliances in with the kitchen updates. I am nervous about picking the wrong color granite. Does anyone have suggestions of granite colors that would work well with this color scheme?

black granite…much easier to change colours later on if you want since it goes with everything

I want to make the wood part, but I just need the metal piece so that I can properly affix the bracket to the wall. Any ideas on where I can find this piece?

Thanks!

It’s called a "keyhole fitting"
They sell them at Rockler. It’s not exactly like the one in your picture but it should do the trick.

http://woodwork.onproreviews.com/ When I built my first deck, almost 20 years ago, I thought I had it all figured out. 4 exhausting months later, I still wasn’t done – I thought I had every detail measured out, only to find that I’ve got it all WRONG. So I decided to find a better way.

I always wanted to do something with burled wood. I very rarely get my hands on it. This large Birch stump had one large burl and several smaller ones on it. Instead of cutting them out and discarding the rest of the log, I wanted to integrate them all in one object. The stump itself has many interesting cavities and depressions in it, so I felt it would do the tree injustice if I only took the burls.

The wood has tons of beautiful features, like black lines from spalting, green and red spots from other fungi, brown streaks from pieces of cambium, leftover pieces of bark and the chaotic burl grain. When I applied the first coat of oil, my jaw dropped to the floor, I never could have dreamed it would look this good (you can see that later on in the vid)

This table was made in Hortus Haren, Netherlands.
