Wood counters in Kitchen

[William Mark Dulken]

There were a couple threads here I can't find now, about the practicality of wood tops near water sources, one of which was mine that may have been deleted. Anyway, I said I'd put up a pic when I finished and so never to disappoint here we are. Instead of heart pine like I wanted to use, I went with some recommendations I got here and elsewhere and went with butcherblock maple. I then used a Kohler sink that has a very thin lip and states it can be used for rim or undermount. I hope this combo holds up, if it doesn't I will be the first to admit it was a mistake.

I can say this much. The appliances, cabinetry and finish materials all look very nice together.

[Dave Zellers]

Very nice!

Just be diligent about not leaving standing water on the counters and you will be fine.
