I just purchased a SS apron sink for my kitchen, I love wooden counters but not sure if I can use them with my sink since the sink is a undermount...has anyone had any experience with this? HELP!

I agree with "k h", wooden counter tops are just asking for trouble. Besides the health concerns, they will tend to split and warp as they get wet from time to time. They will also tend to harbor mold on the underside near the sink.
If you have a "dry" island, that is the place to use a butcher block top if you really want some wood in your kitchen. Even then you will need to keep it bacteria free and oiled.
Please choose another counter top.

The undermount sinks are designed for granite, marble and other simular products. To use in a wood application would not work as this would cause rot and mold. As for the wood counter top I would suggest a good sanding and coat with epoxy resin the kind used for bar tops.

Why would anyone want wooden counter tops. Do you have any idea of the bacteria and germs that is held in wood. You would have to bleach them every day.

Butcher Block tops used to be popular many years ago until all the craze about bacteria. I had them and they were awful to keep up and keep clean. Everything stained them and hot things burned them. Use your wood elsewhere and choose a more efficient countertop option.
