If you are not changing cabinetry, the Kohler Whitehaven short apron style cast iron farmhouse sink can be installed on standard cabinetry. I just had one installed and I love it. It is an under mount sink. I have seen pictures of under mount sinks with wood countertops. I do not know how they work out in the long term.

I have a single handle faucet and it is turned about a 45 degree angle towards the sink so I have limited dripping around the handle. I have needed to learn to hold the dishes lower down when I rinse them to avoid splashing the deck around the sink. The sink sits a little lower than my older drop in cast iron sink.

Pictures are in my idea book under "my pics". There might be a pic of my old sink too which demonstrates how the new sink sits lower.

The pictures look great!!!

We are getting new cabinets (finally, we decided to bite the bullet and retire the 1960's!). I am 6'2" so I can imagine that an under mount sink might take some getting used to.

Thanks:)

I am short and haven't had much trouble adjusting. You are tall, but probably have long arms too. My sister recently built a house and her kitchen and bath cabinets are a couple of inches higher than mine, and I noticed that at some Parade Homes too - so something you might want to consider. being so tall.

If you are getting a sink base cabinet that holds a farmhouse sink, the Whitehaven comes with a standard apron front too - a couple of inches longer in the front. Both styles are the same inside - it is a deep sink. It also comes in an unequal divided style - 2 bowls - 60/40 or 70/30 - not sure which. One thing I like about the Whitehaven is the way the front extends over the lower cabinets and protects them from spills and water damage. The Kohler Hawthorn is another very pretty cast iron farmhouse sink. It is an equal divide (two bowls) and is more expensive. It does not extend as far out over the cabinets. Both sinks also come in several colors, but white is the least expensive.

I bought my sink online and it was less expensive than through the plumb supply store. If you have a plumbing supply showroom near you, check out the sinks in person.

An undermount sink would create fewer water/wood interfaces where a drop in would create water creep all around sink. With undermount you can easily sweep water right off and into sink with no obstruction. If you are tall and use this sink a lot it might be worth raising the cabinet overall height. A project for sure, but just sayin.... I assume you will be dealing with wood protection? Research that - lots of new ideas on this topic and some YouTube videos worth watching.
