Rohan if a supplier is listed as a wholesaler they can only sell to someone with a contractors license but fabricators often sell slabs direct to the public at wholesale prices.
10-4, thanks for shedding some light on the process.

My wife and I are getting ready to build a house. What are some other options besides granite? We are doing a farmhouse style kitchen. Still debating on putting in a farmhouse sink or not. We are looking to stay close to the price range of granite, just wanting something different.
HoLe.. I like butcher block but only if you have a pretty conservative amount of counter space. Don't think it looks good in a huge kitchen with lots of counters. Would look really nice with a white farmhouse sink IMO.

Go look at some pics of soapstone. It's grayish-black (when unoiled) or deeper black (when oiled). Typical in NE US farmhouse kitchens of a certain era. Some like it because it shows wear/aging/scratches (instant antique look), others loathe it for the same reason.
Caesarstone and similar synthetic stones keep getting better & better looking. Limited color palettes in those, but if the colors work, it can be a very nice option.

R2R, I've been thinking about butcher block, but I'm worried about it being too porous? Our kitchen is not huge by any means. Another concern I have with doing butcher block, is that we are running our hardwoods in to the kitchen and not doing tile. Would that be too much wood for a kitchen? Wouldn't we be better off going with some form of stone to break things up a bit?
