Kitchen Worktop Mitre on External Corner

It is a lot easier with a solid worktop, as you can then ease out a nice radiused curve at the corner with a router.

Does the budget stretch to using Beech/Iroko?

Yes the corner will be over base units, specifically one of those corner shelf units.

One alternative that can work is to tile the worksurface with cheap tiles on a sheet of ply. Then you can do any shape you like, as the front of the worksurface is done with wooden mouldings that are easy to cut in a compound mitre saw.

Not everyone gets on with tiled surfaces, though. Many prefer it totally flat, although it can look nice, particularly in a traditional context, and isn't that hard to clean.

P.S. This is also a cheap method for using natural stone. You can get granite tiles (30x30) for about 3 quid a pop. This makes a 3m length of worktop cost about 100 quid, including the ply, adhesive, grout and mouldings. In solid granite, you could be looking at a four figure sum.
