I have some wood counters. Just not right next to the sink. They work. They’re not even finished with very good finish, DH needs to re-do them. I love wood. One is from a huge old fir DH milled, or maybe both. They just wouldn’t work well right next to the sink where water gets on them all the time
Thanks, you’ve both given me great info as it’s a u-shaped kitchen so there is no option to do a different countertop near the sink. The sink gets heavy use by kids who won’t always be careful about wiping up splashes.
