DIY Home Projects...Lets see them.
I guess my old thread got deleted, so here's Part #2
Our kitchen remodel isn't quite finished yet, as I left the cabinets, flooring, counter tops, etc., to the pros, but this is my contribution to the design. I picked up a big slab of live-edge South American Parota to put in place of the old nasty tiled bar top. I noticed it a few months ago in an exotic wood joint up the street and had to have it for the remodel. After a little cutting, sanding, sculpting and routing, it seems to work. The only casualty is a nasty scar on my left palm from when my router got airborne and came after me. Yeah, that was a fun day. There was a large crack here, along with some other blemishes, when I bought the slab. An epoxy repair didn't turn out as I'd hoped, so I ended up routing out the crack turning it into a reservoir. The wife filled it with some beach junk and I had a piece of glass cut to protect everything. The pendant lights over the bar top needed a little more pizazz, so I used some left over Parota to make some simulated live-edge accents for the bases. A new bar top meant I needed new coasters. I couldn't find any I liked, so I chopped up a piece of 4x4 I've been tripping over in the shop. Mother Nature makes the best stuff. Last edited by Chick_Maggot; 09-04-2017 at 09:07 PM. |

Not sure what kind of wood. They're taken from a regular old 4x4 I got from Home Depot.

Nice! Now you need to add a tap and handle for the keg that you'll build into the cupboards, then invite everybody over!!
