Hickory/Walnut Counter Ttop

Beautiful… very nice.

Great looking counter area, I like all the colors.

great looking work. the fact it's made of two of my favorite woods helps me like it even more.
keep it up, btks

A great looking counter! Absolutely georgeous. I'm getting ready to start on a very similar project-i.e. to build a counter-top/breakfast bar behind and over my existing counters. (Now I'm really inspired!) Judging from the electrical recepticles in your photos, it appears that your hickory counter sits on top of a short wall behind your cabinets. How did you attach the hickory boards to the wall (or whatever it is) below it?

Steven, that looks great. Good execution.

I'm surprised to see it framed in. How are you accounting for seasonal movement? Has it held up?
