Project Information
I wanted to finish off a kitchen remodel I did for my daughter and son-in-law with a nice bar and bar stools between the kitchen and living room. We were trying to come up with an idea when I came across a video from Fine Woodworking about a cool cutting board idea. If you do a search for "fine woodworking cutting board" you will find a video from Scott Lewis a Canadian woodworker. It show the process it takes to create the curved stripes that are in the bar top and bar stool seats. IF you notice the pattern is the same from bar top to stool seats, I did that by duplicating the glue ups (two exactly the same). Once I was done with the two main glue ups I laid out and cut out the three seats out of the second glue up.
When I was at the lumber supply store I couldn't pass up the curly maple that's in the skirts and spindles of the stools. It was one of those wood whispering things, calling me to use them in my project, I just couldn't pass it up.
The little purple heart in the spindle is also in the bar top, it's one of those things that goes way back to when my daughter was a small child. I had made her a rocking horse and instead of signing it I did a heart inlay instead.
I want to give credit to Bryon Sande Photography for the excellent pictures he took of this project.
