Planning on doing something similar in my kitchen where the extra long island will has space for 6 stools, 3 on each side, similar to that wood section in your photo. I plan to use caesarstone, siltstone or something of that nature but I don't rule out a wood countertop like yours which brings the countertop height a few inches up. What wood material did you use? What is the length and thickness of the aerial portion? What type of support did you provide underneath? Is the right end leg made of the same wood material serving as end support for the countertop or is there additional support behind that side end? Thank you very much.
