Real wooden kitchen worktop and matching 'fake' wood one
Discussion
We are having some mid height ladder units and want to put on some worktop over it. Since that worktop won't actually be used for cooking / preparing we thought it would be an absolute waste to buy kitchen worktop for it.
But the kitchen island needs to have a proper worktop on it.
So is there any place I can buy both a kitchen worktop as well as some veneered wood where both look. Or does any place sell veneered work tops?

Kitchen worktop is normally a laminate/Formica anyway so not real wood? Unless you are putting solid timber tops on?
Be aware if using a laminate top on a higher unit - the undersides are not finished to full depth so you will probably see the join when looking up, or have a minimal overhang.
Most joinery manufacturers could make you a veneered top but I think you would be shocked at the price.
Another option is to buy an additional appliance end cladding panel and use that - it will probably only be 19mm thick but colour matched to the units will look quite good.

I've just had some (full stave) Oak worktops delivered from these chaps http://www.woodworktops.com/worktops-gallery.html and I'd highly recommend them
