suttondesign specifies wood countertops when appropriate for the client's needs and preferences.

we routinely recommend solid teak for wet areas around sinks, since it loves a wet environment and is so soft and forgiving to stemware and china.

we specify rock maple butcher block (preferably end-grain, as opposed to edge-grain) for cutting areas. we never recommend wood tops adjoining cooking surfaces, since the heat and flame are not only dangerous, but cause severe drying of the wood -- risking complete failure of the glue-up. wood surfaces also scorch badly.
