Building this bar was a challenge. The original plan was for a standard L-shaped bar, until the customer saw the cherry slabs that I had purchased from my lumber supplier. The slabs had an "S" bend in the middle, as shown in the bottom photos. Each one was about 1 3/4" thick, 20" wide by 9' long, and weighed approximately 100 lbs. They were cut down to a much smaller size, and joined edge-to-edge to form the bar top. The arm rail was made from rough stock, and was assembled in five pieces.
