This product in red oak worked out great with a 3 CM granite bar top. Very little sanding required to join the ends and at the mitered joints. Used a 2-1/4 block to position the rails for miter cuts. Also stained very well with Varathane Honey color to a fairly dark pub look which is exactly what we…

Just built a small bar in the basement of my home. Ordered the bar rail from your company. I live in Kansas city Mo. area and getting bar rail locally is not easy. I had exactly what I needed from Hardwoods Inc. at my door within a week from ordering.

It’s been well over a year since we last communicated, but I did say then that I would send you a photo of my bar. I transformed my front living room into O’Sherin’s Irish Pub.
Thanks for producing such a fine product, perfectly shaped. I sweated the measurements and the cutting but it came out beautifully. Appreciate very much your help.

The maple bar rail was perfect, very straight with no sapwood or burnished areas. I was able to use every inch of the nosing having no milling marks anywhere. Here are a couple pics that you may use to show the size and quality. Bar size is 20” wide with 48” to 54” sections.Scott K. – Glastonbury CT
