Chapter 4

This one would show the same in the book and on the computer.

But this one shows up much nicer than in black and white.

They have several different colors combination, some of which are very bold. The color is created by bits of glass which also gives the surface a wonderful sparkle.

Here is the wood countertop we installed in our own kitchen. My husband Paul did an exceptional job of routing the edges and the hole for the under-mount sink. 

This is Acacia wood which has some of the same water resistant qualities as Teak. That is what finally decided me on the butcher block. We bought three 8 foot long slabs from Lumber Liquidators and the cost was only about $150 more than a laminate counter top off the shelf at one of the big box stores.

We had not installed all the cabinet doors at this time.

Here is the counter top from  Eco Top.  Picture is from http://www.kliptech.com/ecotop-surfaces/  This is the paper product. It comes in different colors and has a 15 year warranty. Sounds like a very interesting product.
