Countertop Materials
This is probably a repeat question but...
We are redoing our kitchen and going to get new countertops. We are looking at mostly granite, but we have a section that goes under a window that will be lower, and we were thinking we could put a different surface on that (possibly butcher block). It's a small enough chunk that the price doesn't matter much. Are there any advantages for butcher block over granite? How does granite wear with a bench scraper? I do most of my rising in the fridge, but do shape batards on the counter (have a stainless prep table now, which doesn't work very well).
Thanks in advance
