Mahogany Bar
Here are some pictures of a bar that I did in a finished basement a while back.
Bar top is 1 1/2" thick solid mahogany. I did most of the work in the shop, but had to leave the 2 1/2" wide outside edge off to accomodate the support column that's growing out of it near the corner. Clamping would have been awkward, so I glued and screwed the outside edge on with 4" screws after I notched the short leg to fit around the column. Plugged the holes with plugs cut from the scrap. Corbels are from VanDykes. Finish is several coats of poly.

Re: Mahogany Bar
Nice work.
Looks like it's missing a backsplash, though.

Re: Mahogany BarQuote:
I had nothing to do with that wall  . I don't even know where the wall cabinets came from. They were just hanging there on the day I went back touch something up and take these pics... I think they were planning to add a mirror to that entire wall. Last edited by Jeremy E; 10-17-2009 at 09:03 PM. |

Re: Mahogany Bar
The top looks great.
Why didn't they go with mahogany for all of the wood?

Re: Mahogany BarQuote:
 You should have seen my face when I showed up to trim it out and the GC had a pile of poplar plywood and clear pine boards waiting for me. Oh, well. I'm just the guy who nails the sticks to the wall. |

Re: Mahogany Bar
Bar looks great, now if you want to get picky, in the last picture notice the orange peel finish in the pendant light reflection

Re: Mahogany Bar
Rough crowd. I should post some pictures of the stuff I really bungled.
In truth, I never noticed that "ding" until I saw it in the photo. I hope it's not really there... or that anyone looking at the bar from that angle is really drunk. |

Re: Mahogany Bar
If you can find the right finisher, they can make poplar/birch look like mahogany. I built a bar that was originally supposed to be paint grade out of birch ply and poplar. I left the job and when I came back a few months later I saw some of the best faux finishing I have ever seen. The only way you could tell it wasn't real was the lack of texture in the clear coat.
