Come Sit Awhile Under the Shade Tree-creating a Concrete Bench
Absolutely! In the US concrete countertops are becoming more popular. My son just built one for his outdoor kitchen. Follow the directions posted in the link by Hillela G. However, I must ask...is this a benchtop in a wood shop? If so, you might want to consider the consequences of dropping and nicking bits, blades, and other tools with finely sharpened edges on such a hard surface before committing to a concrete benchtop. Also realize that by adding to your benchtop, you'll also be adding a couple inches of working height to it.
