In a word- yes.
But it would be pretty damn expensive.
The closest look of common countertop material would be cultured marble. But the colors are not that of a typical bowling ball.

Interesting idea, but I'm married and may not remain that way if I tried to do something like that. There are companies that specialize in epoxy countertops, but they usually serve high schools and colleges for their lab countertops. I don't know how "architectural" their color selections would be.
http://www.jgreer.com/bar-top-epoxy....FRlinAodhFQ4jg - These guys sell DIY epoxy surfacing kits - probably not what you're looking for but still good stuff. You could have bowling alley planks surfaced with epoxy as a compromise?
If there was a countertop available that looked like that no one would buy it. We have trouble selling hickory kitchens because hickory has such a beautiful and wild display of colors that most people just do not like.

Could you find a pattern simlar to that, maybe a painting in those colors, then go to a glass shop and have them seal or frame it between two panes of glass? Then you could do something similar to a glass bar counter.
Somebody will make anything you want. Including one made from Crapalloy. It is a big green World out there.
I love that idea of Twisted Fury, got to get the logo too. Tell the World about your wild playful reflections of childhood with further desires for beyond. Nothing like having the kitchen countertop making a public social statement. That is rapidly becoming its sole purpose anyway.
Bring on the hickory, I will buy one. Maybe I will carve Twisted Fury in one end. Could I get a pix of my old pup in the other end???? Make that thing into a gravestone too and do double duty. This trend is going to run a while. I've got the only one in the World like it.
If you can't afford the counter top, can get your life history tattooed on your leg in pix form. There is a great idea whose time has surely come.
Just think, it was only a few years back, we only wanted to put the chow and its fixings on the countertop, how times have changed.

If you're on a budget, just get a slab of butcher block or two. They are generally $200 or less for 8' sections, pretty easy to work with, durable, and can make any kitchen look manly.
