Mahoney Architects & Interiors This island (post to post) is 14 feet long. On the inside of the island the cabinet angles back in toward the cook on both sides.
By the right post, how did they cut the granite around the post? - I see on the left post that it is right on the edge, but the right post is inside the edge. Can I assume that there is 2 seams to the right of the right post and that you can not see them in the photo. »
Mahoney Architects & Interiors Actually, what you are seeing is just the angle of the photograph. Both posts land equally on the countertop. The granite was cut around the posts. These are working steel posts with wood trim.
There are a number of manufacturers of island hoods with a glass canopy.
Here is one of many:
Thermador Masterpiece Series HGSI42TS

Your best bet is to shop locally and see the hood in person.
