Thread: Gabians wall Jarrah bar, WIP

The bartop is only 2 pieces (one join) and is a natural bend in the timber, I tried to make the join look as one with moderate success, I have been advised by local timber gurus that the timber is refered to as stunted Jarrah, usually grown in harsh enviroments, usually on the hillside of rocky areas, hence stressing the tree to bend naturally as in this work, I have used a dremil tool to extend the sap lines to blend the join then filled them with fiberglass resin (coloured with black ocre) once sanded back it appears as one, the following pic shows a closeup of the join, I hope this helps[/QUOTE]

That is what you call dedication to detail.

Extremely well done

Wicked! I absolutely love it and the end result could easily fit into an upmarket bar in Melbourne.

As for the spiders seperating the men from the girls, enough of that! In my house of men, 3 sons and my partner, I am the one who has to kill all the spiders round here, they all carry on like sissies about them.

I love the concept dhubilant, good design and great execution.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, I look forward to starting my next project now the first is complete

Very interesting and quite a difference to a standard bar.
