The counter in this kitchen has a section that is narrower than the main section due to having a door next to it.
Although the previous solution has impeccable taste, its just not my style. (see picture).
Is it possible to find purchase a counter top with custom specifications?
Additionally, is it possible to do a clean and professional looking job of cutting into the counter top one might find in a big box store and sealing the open edges created by cutting into it?
The "cut-out" meaning the section of the countertop that must be removed from the uniform countertops sold in big box stores to match the different width on one section of the countertop.

Usually tops like that are built by fitting a base sheet (usually particle board for flatness and smoothness) and edging it with hardwood using miter joints. Then laminate is applied across the entire surface with contact cement. The laminate is then trimmed flush with a router, and a bevel or more detailed edge is routed into the hardwood and laminate simultaneously.
Stain (optional) and several coats of high-quality sealer finish the job. With this technique, virtually any shape is achievable with basic carpentry skills.
