A leaky potted plant damaged my Ikea butcher block STENSTORP cart, which caused a fairly significant crack and some dark staining. I repaired most of the stain by sanding with varying grits. I repaired the crack, which happened right on a glue joint, by cutting the entire length along the crack, which effectively removed it with one cut. I glued the two pieces back together and clamped it to dry. After drying I gave it one final sand and then applied a wipe-on polyurethane finish. The repair isn't quite perfect but it's much better than before! The cart is now back in the kitchen on coffee duty, which you'll see at the end!

Thank you for watching!
