Add a Live Edge to Your Kitchen With a Bar Counter Top

Woodworking projects are the perfect way to create a unique living space. Many people have learned how to build DIY wood kitchen countertops. You can also build a DIY bar counter and add a unique piece of woodwork to the room. The beauty of building your own wood countertop is the ability to use your imagination, be creative and do it all yourself, without paying anyone else to do it for you. By doing this you can create a new and beautiful living space, without spending thousands of dollars.

There are many benefits to building a wood edge bar counter with your own hands. First of all you will find that you can save money by doing the work yourself. You can do it in your spare time when you have the time, or hire someone to do it for you. You will have control over every phase of the project and know that the final product will be exactly as you want it. There is no need to settle for something you don’t really like.

Another benefit of a wood edge bar counter is that you can customize it to fit any size area of your room. No matter what the dimensions are, you can make the best looking counter in the world. The possibilities are endless. A wood edge bar counter is available in unfinished wood, which gives you the chance to stain or paint it to match your room’s decor. It is also available in various wood grains and finishes, giving you many options for creating the look you want.

There is a variety of woods available to use to build a wood kitchen edge bar counter. Most woodworkers use oak, mahogany, maple and cherry for their edges. Some use ash, but it should only be used on the outside edge of the counter. When choosing the type of wood, you have to determine the durability, color, grain and size of the pieces you need to build your counter top.

To make a long story short, the basic reason for using a live edge bar countertop is to save space. With these pieces, you are not forced to have a bulky island with a flat surface above. This allows you to save space in your kitchen while providing an impressive work surface. By using this type of bar surface, you can cut your prep time in half. Not only does it save space, but you can always add more counter space later.

There is also some beauty to be had by using wood. Because it is possible to stain wood, you can give your counter top an incredible look. This type of wood also adds a dimension to your kitchen. Once you stain your piece, you will gain an amazing feeling of pride in your kitchen.

Some people choose not to use wood because they believe that the finish will not hold up as well as a metal or laminate counter top. The truth is that wood has been used in kitchens for hundreds of years, and there is simply no substitute for wood when it comes to durability and style. If you are going to use wood, then you might as well make it into a living edge bar counter top.

There are many designs available on live edge bar counter tops. Some of them have a clean and simple look, while others feature a fancy design. It all depends on what you want for your kitchen and whether you want to use wood or not.
