How to finish the end of a bar top & bar rail

When building your own home bar whether it is free standing, a peninsula or an L shaped bar, at some point you will need to finish the end of your bar top and bar rail molding. Here are a few suggestions on how to do just that without using those unsightly end caps.

Here the bar top end was finished by laminating a piece of matching solid wood over the raw edge of the main and sub bar top prior to installing the bar rail.

Here you can see where the bar top, glass rail, drip edge and bar rail molding come together. By installing one of our bar top wings you can create a smooth intersection for all of these bar top parts to meet resulting in a clean professional look.

Here you can see a custom granite bar top where the end was finished by covering the sub top with inside edge trim and the BR475-3CM bar rail mitered back to itself creating a natural end to the molding and bar top.

Good morning,

I completed my bar and had to contact you let you know how much I appreciated your patience, help and advice. All of the material I received from you was milled perfectly and made my job not just easier, but possible. You run a great company and produce a great product. Anyone considering a bar should contact you. I attached a few pictures of my bar. All of the cherry came from Hardwoods Inc. The bar top is the slate from a friend’s old pool table and the cabinet was a bathroom vanity. We’re very happy with the results.

Thank you again,
