This Dry bar is made of Red Oak. The stain is min wax’s gun stock stain, with 3 coats of dissolved rockler brand shellack flakes . The Top is a hi-macs brand solid surface top that I also made. The stain glass was done by a good friend and fellow jock “cplant”.

Welcome, Nice job all the way around on this! Looks great, the dove tails turned out great as well as the doors. I used that gunstock for the wood trim in our family room. Like the color of it. Well done and again welcome.

Looks good, I also like the glass. My home was custom built 100 years ago. Most of the wonderful original windows were replaced five years ago, but I kept the old ones. I know there’s good use for the glass and old growth fir they are made from.

Good looking project.
Did you make a “back up” door or drawer to replace the microwave oven in case you can’t find a replacement for it that fits when it dies? I have encountered that problem on two cabinets I made years ago that held the old style square shaped TVs. Now a wide screen either won’t fit or looks awkward.

Thank you everyone. To answer Shopmania, I built a solid surface counter top for it and will not be mounting it. LesB I did not think of that, thank you. I will have to take that in to consideration next time oops.
