We followed a Craigslist lead and bought a 6 foot length of bowling alley floor. Okay, I found the lead, but Sr. Juniper followed up on it while I napped. It's maple, joined with fir (did you know they only use hardwood for the first few feet of the lane?). Our friend who is an artist/craftsman/carpenter extraordinaire came along for advice, and he'll clean it up and put edges on it and it will be the countertop on our island. We haven't picked the kitchen finishes yet, but this gives us something to go on. We like the quirky, informal, recycled feel of it.

I am pretty sure Iron Chef Morimoto would not approve, but that's definitely cool and unique! =)
