Be creative. Play with various ideas.
* have straight island on one side of beam (cut to fit around beam) with the counter top including the 'back' edge. Do identical one on other side but will be placed back to back.
Have one on wheels (other half raised to same level as one with wheels) and solid. Or both on wheels. Can have side latches for less movement unless desired.
* have wall cabinets instead of base cabinets if want more counter edge for eating stools and knee room.
* beam. build around it a small 'porch' for salt, pepper, etc..
could paint various shades to make beam appear marble. Mini cabinets around beam for spices.
* could be a large counter top starting with plywood & cover with counter tiles so don't have to do special orders for counter size.
