It looks good in a timber frame home. Not so good in a French provincial...No way my wife would let that jagged edge in our mountain home.....I guess everyone has their preferences!

My wife is the opposite. She loves timber frame, natural stone and hand hewn log accents. I happen to hew logs. .No way my wife would let that jagged edge in our mountain home.....I guess everyone has their preferences!
No but honestly, I'd rather do it myself if it's possible. Not only do I save some money, especially when we get to the kitchen, it'll also be pretty satisfying to have done it ourselves. The only things we've hired out so far have been the HVAC and part of the drywall float/tape/texture. The drywall that we've done looks a lot better than what we paid the "pros" for...
Then use soapstone, a lot easier to work with.
I've already got the granite though, and it's the color she likes. We'd have to go buy soapstone...Then use soapstone, a lot easier to work with.
The live edge seems like a cleaning nightmare and even worse for sanitation.
