We're renewing our kitchen and I'm trying to come to a decision on

Some kind of moulded composite is top of my list, but looks as if it may
be too expensive.

I like some granites, and the price is right, but it's an unforgiving
surface.

I'd really like to go with some kind of hardwood, and don't mind oiling
etc., but I *really* want to avoid having any kind of joint at the point
where the surface meets the upstand.

Is there anyone who manufactures a hardwood surface with a built-in
upstand, with a gently curved corner, rather than a right-angle and some
perishable sealant?

You can get anything bespoke like that from most small joiner's shops.
Tell them what you want and they will tell you what they want. Or you
could make one yourself. It isn't rocket science.

It's rocket science to me, but I take your point - I'll see if I can find
someone local to do it, thanks.
