Beautiful kitchen. Can the wooden breakfast bar be fitted to a kitchen stone top island after it has been installed?

I'm looking for a real rustic wooden bench top to creat a breakfast bar. All the wood I can find is overseas. Where would I be able to get this in the UK?

Wood breakfast bar on quartz worktop?

Adding myself to this thread and bumping this back up, as would love to hear some professional opinions as I'm thinking of doing this too. LTS: our kitchen fitter has recommended the same - holes through the quartz to screw the wood into the cabinets below, and then glue. But somehow it doesn't seem very stable, and also his recommendation is for the overlap width to be the same as the overhang width to counterbalance the weight (i.e. 30cm overhang means 30cm wood sitting on top of the counter). I'm against using L-brackets or corbels, as they won't fit in with the look we're going for. Would flat steel bars support under the wood block work? But then they would be sitting on the quartz? Or do we route rectangular channels in the quartz to accommodate these steel bars?

Idea's needed how to fix a wooden breakfast bar to a granite worktop
Q

I recall this being asked before. Was a post last week too. Our suppliers tell us to glue it. The problem may be allowing for timber movement as it is a naturally hydroscopic material when fixing to the granite. I'm sure I recall many months ago reading to ask the granite supplier to drill holes through the granite. As I see it the options are drilling/screwing or glueing.

Help with fixing cantilever oak block breakfast bar to granite worktop

One or two observations: Oak breathes, in as much as when wet it will expand and when dry it shrinks, that's why it is good for boat and barrel building, when wet the gaps close up and make it watertight. What that means for a worktop is that unless the wood is stabilised (soaked through with epoxy) it will expand and contract, if glued to the granite that means when expanding it will warp, staying still where the glue is and bending downward, not much but it will. Perhaps a less porous wood could be better, bamboo is good, then, if the counter top end is flush, you could screw and/or glue a stout batten of matching material to the end of the counter to add support ( extend it out past the front of the counter to ad support to the overhang) then glue the block to the granite with epoxy and screw up through the batten.
