Think Zinc!
Here is a company in Tulsa Oklahoma that makes the most beautiful zinc countertops. They are to die for (I believe these cabinets are probably chestnut).

CJ Design Kitchen Countertops uses 48 oz zinc to provide a zinc counter top and zinc sink that will last a lifetime.
All zinc countertops can be built with integral zinc sinks that are custom built to the customer’s over all size, depth and with one or more compartments.
Zinc has an old world charm and is really beautiful alongside antique woods.
Zinc is a soft metal.
The surface of the zinc countertops will naturally oxidize into its patina finish, which is a dark gray.
If various chemicals are used on zinc countertops, it can accelerate the patina and create unusual effects.
All zinc countertops can be fabricated with custom integral back splashes at different heights

Thanks for outlining the properties of zinc. Maybe it's best for a hutch type countertop? What do you think?
ReplyDeletePurcell Murray in Brisbane CA has been showing a beautiful zinc countertop in their kitchen displays for years now.
ReplyDeleteI think they will stand up just fine...It's the COST that's the real issue.
This is an ultra-high-end countertop.

I have a zinc countertop in my laundry room, installed 2 years ago. Wasn't sure how I would like it in a heavily used place (kitchen etc.) so am doing a test in laundry. I am loving how it evolves and shows patina. It appears soft and vintage...fits my rustic house.
