You're welcome, Lee Anne! Though it is a neat look, I can understand why there would be a concern for children's safety around it. It's nice to look at though anyway. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. :)
Not for me - looks like clothing and skin would be torn, much less way to difficult to keep sanitary. Rustic can come in on the cabinet, but I personally don't like anything rough in my home - rustic (hard to keep clean) belongs OUTSIDE the house.
yes I very much like as I've seen in catering kitchens in elegant homes/ looks much better when done in lg spaces , at least thats my personal preference
OK I was nice enough to reply with my opinion on the chisled look and I reeived a reply of had I seen the chisled look before. No only in pictures, but I'm a Nana with 9 grandkids and lots of traffic, and it would be hard to keep it clean.
Did a cabin a few years ago, and that kind of rustic look would have been very good there. The only problem I have with it cosmetically if it DOES fit (and it would only go in certain places) ... is that it doesn't fit well with the highly polished surface. And if you polish the front to take off the rough edges, and make it more polished, then I think it really WOULD look contrived. And if it's totally rough, it might not be safe, or easy on the clothing.

I think I can see it being a lot more useful in a setting where it isn't as heavily used as a kitchen counter. Something like a window or other type of ledge, or perhaps some type of shelving. The rough edges wouldn't be so much of a problem in that case. I think I'd like to see the top surface less polished in that situation too.
But I always like to see "different" ... it opens up new possibilities and gives a great jumping off point for further new ideas. :)
It takes a skilled fabricator to do it right and the end result looks better on certain types of stone. I would recommend asking for a sample of the chiseled edge on the particular stone you would like to use.
Here is a sample of a project we have almost completed.
Thank you for the compliments! We just finished the project so I intend on putting up a few more pictures in the next couple of days. If you have any upcoming projects I would be happy to assist you!
Atlanta ganite custom: Now that's more like it. Still not really something I'd go with for an 'all the time' kitchen, but what fun for a vacation home! Well done work!

Taking my cap off for a few moments as a gesture of sweetly savoring this effect you've produced... WoWzA
