I would try to screw and glue a steel sheet, not too thin, along the entire length.

(Stainless steel so it does not rust over time)

Let’s wait and see how the carpenter handles this professionally for Taunuskind.

Good evening,

Thank you for the additional replies.

The carpenter has already advised us over the phone against using a solid wood panel on this side of the kitchen counter. Over the long term, it will inevitably cause problems... For now, we purchased a laminate countertop as a temporary solution yesterday and are considering our long-term options carefully.

The carpenter is still coming next week to cut it to size, as the wall is quite uneven and crooked (it’s a very old house, after all...).

Wishing you a great weekend,

Taunuskind
