This was bar and back bar were made for a client about a year ago, it is maple, and the doors have a cane material in them.

Very Nice! I am in the precess of designing a bar for my basement. It will be 8’ long with a 4 1/2’ el to the left. I was fortunate to get some nice walnut veneer 3/4” plywood for the sides and have some tremendous walnut 4/4 to 6/4 planks that I’ll use for the top. Did you make your own arm rest rails or did you buy them. I have looked at a couple of suppliers and they want an arm and a leg for the bar rails and only offered oak and cherry. Again, that is a great looking bar.

Thanks! I made my own rails. Yea the y suppliers are asking anywhere from $12-$20 a foot for bar railings. I have a supplier here that has them in almost any wood you want for $8-$12 a foot. I will buy the rails for my next one I do, it is about the same price in the long run.

This is a gorgeous build. The finish and stain look really nice on this piece. Beautifully done.

Napaman, you are in my favorite part of CA,
This project took about 2 month for the client to decide on the final design, after that it took about 2 months to complete. That was changing the stain on the whole thing twice. I did all the design on it.
