This is gonna be my bar top

Will be ace when varnished mahogany

Chippy has been here all day fitting the wood and making smaller shelves for glasses.
Now to stain it all

The wood is getting to the colour we want.

Maybe I should build it in my mancave

KTM orange?

It set off very orange. But 4th coat is now nearly red enough. One more coat then 2 pack varnish.

The pal who did my welding earlier is owner of my fave pub, Chispas. It was my dad's local so I kept the family tradition going
I've taken a few from here to the pub, including @gremlin who giggled at the prices

Anyway he presented me with this amazing sign today. The intricacy of the number 2 in the dot is amazing.

I'm so chuffed

He's also same lad who got me into enduro and made me a superb sign from lava for my man cave

The wood is carved out to leave the letters. He's got a 3d CNC wood carving machine.

My mate Hippy is a perfectionist and wanted the wood perfect. 5 coats of stain till we got the right colour, then 3 coats of 2-pack varnish

Within a week and that included building all the units on site and the required additional electrical work! Funnily enough I've just booked my mate to fit a new bathroom and he reckons that will take a week as well!

Its good to find a trade like that. We've wanted a new bathroom for ages but my mate can't do it until November, but I won't use anyone else as he is a perfectionist too.

I'll be over tomorrow, but only if you swap those fucking empty bottles for ones full of booze, you bloody tight Northerner.

I think my memory is playing tricks with me. I remember as a kid lots of pics around the pool room in pubs with dogs playing pool and poker. Sure there were 6 or so in each set, but can only find one of each.
I'd love a set of each.

Is my brain shot ?

You'll go blind if you spend too much time admiring your wood.

I remember a pub pool room that had pictures around it with different types of drunks. I only remember the gin drinking women one.
