My girl picked it up at Trader Joes. She tossed me one, of course I didn't bother to read the label thinking it was going to be your normal Monday night beer. Chugged the first sip and WOW! Haha wasn't expecting that.

2 coats of seal is applied and all completed.  Just need to add inside lights and make a table-top.

Broke down the old bunk beds and decided to make a bar top.

Really thick wood and would cost me a fortune to buy right now.



Should be a perfect fit...



All lined up well.  I have some old manilla nautical rope and some deep pour bar-top epoxy to put on after the sanding/staining.



Going to be sweet.  I'll probably be too broke to fill the bar with booze, so please donate to a good cause...  hahahaha

Added some fine touches before staining...





Now waiting to add all of the cool stuff like nautical rope to the edge and pout the tabletop epoxy over it.

I also started another project since I'm making a "bar", so I made an enclosure for my dart board, but adding all the bells and whistles and trying to make it match the rest of the bar.  Even put "Straps on it to resemble the wine barrels.  All reclaimed wood.

Here are just the doors.



I need to start finishing projects before I start new ones, but I need to get the actual patio done first!
Thanks for checking it out!

Nautical rope lined the table and filled in the gaps at the top so the epoxy won't pour through.







Pretty stoked on how it's coming out so far.

Whoops, almost forgot I finished the dart board. 

The original doors I made wouldn't fit, so I took some more of the old reclaimed wood and made a set of doors to (sort of) match the wine barrels.



The hinges were a pain since I couldn't get them to line up just right with the wood I selected, so made some modifications to remedy the situation.

Board is finally all done. Now I just need to wait for the patio to get finished.  Sounds like next week the painting and roof will be done and the week after will be the rebar and concrete!

I made some matching "Rope-lined bar shelves" and used a spar urethane to seal them, since they will be mostly used for holding cool decorations you would find at a bar.  The Bar-Top will be epoxied since it will most likely be under some heavy use and I can't imagine the urethane will hold up to that traffic.  LOL

I got the news about my boat yesterday followed by some other news that will make the next few months harder to navigate, so decided to finally pour the epoxy bar-top.   I watched some vids and read the instructions, so felt pretty ready to start the mixing even though I had some obstacles to navigate.  I was certain I could get through them with minor problems, and I did, but it definitely didn't go as smoothly as I was hoping.

I was there using the heat gun to get the bubbles out, but they kept forming.  It was a rough hour standing there and tending to the table top when I ran in to go to the bathroom.  I had to check some work email and came out to see it tacky with a few areas having a lot of bubbles and rough patches that weren't there 20 minutes ago!  Ugh, nothing to do now, but let it harden.  It's not terrible, but not what I was hoping.  The wood was so dry, that it kept soaking in micro cracks and forming small bubbles up until the point it tacked up.  I guess this crystal clear epoxy has a much slower curing process than I even realized it would be.  Even 4 hours later, it was sticky and tacky, but this morning, it is hard and looks beautiful!  Morning Wood!   LOL
