we went with bamboo.

pros;
- good eco credentials
- looks (have got bamboo shelving system and island worktop so matches in nicely)
- i was installing it myself so knew i could adjust it if needed
- ordered online and got a load of offcuts that i have used elsewhere
- good value
cons;
- requires re-finishing / waxing every 6 months
- has a few watermarks now after 2 yrs use (which i think adds to the charm of wood but most would probably disagree with)

Every. Six. Months.

Fair play. That is commitment.

it's not a huge chore, just a wipe with a rag really and leave it to dry overnight.

@dbr - not actual wax. i've been using ronseal worktop oil but would be happy to listen to alternative recommendations.
