BBQ island build in Phoenix

Yes. I have cola colored stain from Countertop Solutions on order. Sure hope it looks good to the ironwood stone.

I still have a full bag of the countertop mix left over... too bad I threw away about 3/4 of a bag as a solid hunk of concrete because I got a little over zealous with the mixing. I think I'll try sifting out the the gravel chunks and make a slurry with the countertop mix using polymer additive instead of water to mix it. It already has additives and plasticizer in, so it will probably work. If that doesn't work, then I might just order some of the pre-made slurry mix that is sold. I added the charcoal colorant to the concrete as I mixed, because I wasn't planning on staining it, but after the grinding I might change my mind.

Anyone have any recommendations for sealer? Was thinking of using this sealer, but not sure yet.

I have used this. http://www.expressions-ltd.com/Concrete_Sealer_SuperSeal2000_p/cc-superseal-2000.htm

It has held up for two years so far. Will probably reapply this summer.

I am late on getting these up, but the grill is finally done....
The counter top was tinted with cola colored stain working up to the color and variation of light and browns. It was sealed with 511 impregnator and stone sealer. The stone was leftover from my pool remodel and was also sealed.
I am happy I bought a drawer it was a good recommendation.
Thanks for sharing your insights and feedback it was a fun project!
