What DIY kitchen countertops would you recommend?

I've thought about making my own concrete countertops or maybe the resin/epoxy countertops embedded with wood. How much skill does this take, and what kind of forms should I use?

    Hi Jen, I think this is a job for a professional. It's too involved, and complicated.

    Hi Jennifer,

    I have not tried this but want to try... liked two applications using resin using copper pennies and broken cd's and the results looked pretty amazing. Same DIY'er did both applications. I would definitely add a decorative molding to hold the resin in that would be permanent to level you want resin to level off to.
