    Great job! There are items you can get from a wood working store that help to bend wood. My husband makes guitars and does a lot of wood bending. One way is to soak it, then after you have it set it the clamps use a really strong hair dryer.

    It does look like granite, but it is actually called EOS. It is a solid surface, not laminated. It's about 25% less than a Corian countertop and a lot less than solid granite. I love it!

    It is a beauty!
