Thanks for the kind words everyone!  When I get it completely finished everyone is invited to the "bar stocking" party.    :drunk:  :cheers: :drunk:

Are you gonna put that clear bar-topper epoxy on top? That'd look really neat. Just my  :2cents:

I don't think I have ever heard of that stuff.  Most of the bars I have been to look like they have a super thick coating of polyurethane on it.  Is that what the epoxy is?  I had just planned to put like 10 coats of poly on it.

Home Depot sells it. It is a two part system that you mix and pour over the top. We did it on our bar over a huge PBR sticker. Its a mess, the excess runs off the edges and on the floor. When you mix it, it needs to be mixed good and not with a drill (do it by hand), the drill will introduce air into the mixture. If it doesn't get mixed good there will be some sticky portions of your top. Then take a butane torch and run it over then top, it will pop any remaining bubbles that are on the surface.

Pretty easy all and all and the Bar looks great  :2thumbs:
