The standard overhang of an island countertop -- on the side designed to sit at and tuck stools underneath -- is 12 inches. If you plan to extend the counter farther, you need to add supports such as legs, or wood corbels or metal L-brackets that extend half the overhangâs distance.
Go for lots of overhang, imo. I have 3' on the eaves of my house (built in '80), primarily to help keep water away from the foundation. On my new shop, the overhang is 3' all around. The gable truss and the first truss inboard are approx 5.5 shorter to accomodate 2x6 fly rafters.
