If you were going to replace your counter top what would be the best material to use but still looks great. I would like to have it look from the 30's or 40's but don't know if that's possible. It's not that big, an L shape about 6ft long then about 3 ft shooting off. Wood is awesome but I've never had one and they probably need treated often, I'm guessing??? Any help is appreciated!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

if you want it to look old like 30-40s then a laminate with metal edging or tile
by 1960 laminate with laminate edge
my brother did a bar in wood , there is a sealer that basically puts a clear epoxy over the wood and lets you see the wood while sealing it up well.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

You can do some amazing things with modern epoxies. Lots of info on YouTube.
