Premium Hardwood Bar Rail, Bar Tops & Bar Fronts

Traditional wood bar arm rest molding with cropped corners.

December 6, 2017

When building a home or commercial bar of any size or shape at some point in the process you will need to decide how to deal with the corner or corners of the bar rail molding. The standard option for navigating turns in bar rail molding is the simple 90 degree mitered corner. Although this option may be a fast and easy way to make the corner it can result in a somewhat sharp edge at the very tip of the miter that can be a little tough on your guests. There is another option. How about taking the edge off your bar rail with a cropped corner? Pictured below is our BR475 Bar rail molding cut with a 45 degree insert as a softer alternative to the standard 90 degree mitered corner.

The cropped corner is accomplished by first cutting 1-1/2″ to 2″ off the corner of the bar top on a 45 degree angle and then mitering the three bar rail molding pieces around the corner. If a larger cropped corner is desired you will need to cut more off the corner of bar top in step one.

BR475 White Oak Bar Rail Radius Corners & Straights.

We couldn’t be happier. The bar rails and corners were perfect. We have received a number of compliments on the workmanship. It would not have been such a success without your products. We watched your helpful videos and got familiar with what we needed to do. This was a challenging effort and took over two weeks to finish. It was probably more difficult to design as we were fitting it to an already established area with granite counters and cabinets. Patience prevailed! The most difficult part of the project were the three round corners coming together. They fit and we are delighted with how it looks. Kathryn C.
