Mark, this is a nice looking bar top. And, to me, it looks like it has a nice finish on it. I like the look that the dual level gives to the bar.
Nice job.

Thanks! My pictures aren’t the best quality but I am working on that so I can show the nice wood grain of the bubinga.

Nice bartop and finish. I really like how the grain come thru. What did you use as finish to make the top water resistant? I built a dry bar for my son and used 2-part epoxy for the top.

SaaaWeeet!! Very, very nice. Is that Waterfall Bubinga? More specifically, is it some of that HUGE tree that Rockler bought? I’ve seen several samples and it’s all great.
Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow, now you’re going to have to upgrade the rest of the room to match the bar! And do you have enough left over for the bar stools?

Mark, this is one cool bar! Just FYI, I made a blog post today about bubinga, and thought your project would be nice to include as an example what one can do with the wood. So I’ve used the lumberjocks widget thing to link back to your project page here. Hope that’s okay.
