After reading your thoughts, I have decided to go with 2" butcher block tops. I also have some 14 gauge stainless steel plating that I will make an area topped off with it and bend it for the splashing in the back. This is where I will clean my rifles. The framer that I have doing it is also a wood mill guy. He has a bunch of wood flooring from a rail car that he said he can use and plane out. Also, wife decided to add on to it so now I have a 6'3" x 6'3" Gun/Safe room that I will do out of CMU blocks and concrete filled cells with a 30" Vault door on the front. AC guy is going to run a vent to it and exhaust to keep the humidity and fresh air controlled. I'll put some LED strip lighting in the corners of the ceiling. Pouring a 5" concrete slab on top of the CMU to enclose.
I had thought of pouring all of the tops in concrete but I didn't like the idea of having to drill holes into the top and if I decided to move presses, etc creating holes all over. The exterior walls will be 2x6's filled with closed cell foam insulation. The AC guy is installing the unit is also installing a permanent dehumidifier for it also. I will be adding a 2 - 6' Steel tool cabinet underneath a portion of the countertops. One for tools and the other for reloading dies, rings, expanders, etc. I believe I will also adding some cabinets from the floor to the ceiling for powder storage. Anything I miss?
