Your do realize walnut and cherry being relative soft woods compared to
the
usual wood used for counter tops will be very susceptible to dints and
dings? I should look great but I have to wonder how long.

This is a very good point and I thought about this for a while and
decided to go with it. I am hoping to get an uncommon look. Call me
a pervert if you will but I like stuff showing their age. Wife says
she won't be cutting on it and wont't place hot pots and pans on it.
We will see.

As long as you know all the possible draw backs and can live with them then
go for it. We of course will need pictures posted. ;~)
