Bar

The bar resting in place for installation. Its not even close to dry, that will be another 2 years. We installed it so it was mostly floating in place to allow for shrinkage while drying.

A close up of the live edge and character of the cedar.

The kitchen side looking good. You can barely make it out but, if you look at the left and right side you'll notice the right side isn't finished. We had a minor brain-storm about what to use to finish it this morning and all options would have been nice but, we went with rope in the end. We considered live edge framing but that would encroach on the back of the cedar bar a lot. We considered half inch square molding but it looked too ridged next to the stone back-splash. Arlen came up with the brilliant idea of using rope to finish it. Its perfect because its subtle, it contours the stone and it doesn't cover the nice cedar.

 Looks like a kitchen with a bar!! Also, the window treatment is installed and virtually unnoticeable. Now on to the floor and  front door!
