Butcher block and sink dilemma

The longest part of my L shaped kitchen counter top is 12 feet 3 inches. All of the butcher block counters I am able to locate are 12 feet or less. I hate the thought of having to cut and have a seam. I think it's ugly and will be a weak point in the counter. I was looking at farmhouse sinks in the hope that I could find one to take up the space of the cabinet it would sit on and therefore create a spot to cut and not need a seam. The only one I found that would be relatively close to what I was thinking is at Ikea, but it's too wide. My cabinets are 35" wide.

So...I decided that since I'm pretty concerned with water issues and the butcher block running along the sink anyway....perhaps I'll get a standard stainless sink and tile around the sink portion with some variation of what I will use as a backsplash. Win-win?

Thoughts/advice? Anyone seen or done anything like this? Thanks in advance. :-)
