I've bought an old cabin in Pacific NW. I'd like to keep the cabin charm, but add some modern appliances. However, I'd like to have wooden countertops and island top. I've seen it in friend's log cabin houses. Mine is open floorplan, 10x13' kitchen, countertop in 'L' config. 2 sides plus island top. What's the best material and technique? I appreciate any and all advice that I can research. Thanks!
