Wood Bar Tops
A bar top takes the hardest life of any surface we build: glasses, spills, elbows, and closing-time cleanups, every night. Ours are solid hardwood — never veneer — sealed with a commercial-tested, 100% VOC-free hardwax oil that beads liquid and repairs in place.
Home basement bars, brownstone wet bars, and full restaurant runs all price instantly in the Builder at your exact length, width, and thickness. Live edge turns a bar into the room’s centerpiece; a straight edge with a comfortable roundover profile is the service classic.
Built for the Pour
The overhang question
Most bar tops carry a knee overhang — 8 to 12 inches of unsupported span where people sit. That is the textbook case for inlaid steel C-channel reinforcement: routed flush into the underside, fully hidden, and keeping the overhang dead flat for decades. Add it in the Builder, priced by the foot.
Species that tend bar well
Walnut is the classic dark bar — rich, warm, and forgiving of low light. White oak takes the most punishment and reads brighter; its closed pores earn their keep around liquid. For high-contrast looks, ask about a two-species build or a stained ash that reads like walnut at a lower rate.
Commercial runs
Restaurant and bar build-outs get grain-matched runs milled from one lumber lot, trade pricing through the B2B program, and direct-to-site delivery scheduled around the GC. Send the floor plan and we’ll quote the whole package.
