I attached a sketch of what we would like to accomplish. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Planning to use white oak and rift swan for the base cabinets in the sketch
Thanks

I see it now. The island portion would follow the standard configuration we offer on our website. You can use an island bar back where the table attaches:

You’ll definitely need table legs or a similar support structure to bear the weight of the countertop. I highly recommend Osborne Wood Products for sourcing table legs and horizontal support components:

Hi Chad,
I want to do something similar, extend a table top from the back of an island built with Barker cabinets. So thanks for the link to Osborne, I found the table legs, table base kits, etc. Question – how would I go about matching the finish of the Osborne pieces with the Barker cabinets?
Thanks! -Steve-

It depends on the finish.
Paint: The best option is to take a door or small sample to your local Sherwin Williams and have them color-match it to our sample for the most accurate result.
Stain: We can provide the same water-based stain we use. Stains can be a bit tricky because the final look depends on how much you apply, but with some trial and error, it’s not too difficult to achieve a close match.
ClearCoat: For the topcoat, you can purchase Sherwin Williams Gallery Clear with a 20-sheen finish. Apply a couple of coats, sanding lightly between each one, and you’ll get a very close match.
Keep in mind that spraying on site won’t achieve the same quality as our finishing process, but it will be close enough for smaller support pieces. In our shop, every product is sanded with a universal sander to a consistent grit, with multi-directional orbital sanding between coats. This process also softens the edges slightly, which prevents chipping and improves long-term durability. That level of detail is really only critical for doors and other high-use areas where sharp edges could chip if struck.

Chad – That all makes sense, thanks for the attention to detail.
