Hi,

I know that it is common kitchen counters to be made of wood (are those
called butcher block counters?), but what about vanity tops. My wife
and I both dislike laminate, granite and marble.I guess that leaves us
with wood. Can this be done with proper protection and what would that
protection be? And where could I get the materials appropriate for
that?
You might want to read up on the procedures used in laying up a
fiberglass
covered wooden boat. The epoxy saturated fiberglass will let the
natural wood
show through and will prevent problems associated with water. I have
built
several boats with wood/fiberglass covering which were strong and quite
tough
and abrasion resistant.
