The Bar Walls

[Per Swenson]

Hello everyone,

Paneled walls for this Bar.

Had to hide the radiator too.

There is actually a lot more work done, but its not ready for prime time.

I am at the stage where, you know, I wanna be somewhere else.

This happens all the time and I have to be carefull.

Maybe a couple of hundred more miles in the Highlands to clear my head.

Please note the flash is causing a funny effect on the walls and it actually

looks alot better in real life.

Thanks for looking and enjoy.

Ya, the radiator trim looks ok but the red post is terrific, did you turn that yourself? :D

Ya Per, from one great job to another great job.

Keep up the good work and pictures too, of course

Hi Per, The bar is coming together nicely. The radiator cover is really interesting. Depending on how it's looked at, you can get different perceptions.
take care,
John

[Jim Becker]

Very nice, Per!! (Is this the same project that you started posting the coffered ceiling work?)

[Per Swenson]

Hey Jim,

Thanks,

Yep, Jest yer average 30 foot front and back bar in Mahogany with coffered
ceiling and paneled walls.

Per,
That's really nice work. Too many bars have cheesy attempts at woodwork. It's nice to see the real thing.

[Mark Singer]

Per,
Great work! The quality really shows and the professional edge is apparent in your stuff! Beautiful detailing, great skill....I think the SawStop is really making a difference in the quality of your work:rolleyes:

[Jack Ferrell]

Per, your inspiring work always amazes me. So hard to find such quality these days, it's just a joy to look at it.

[Jerry Olexa]

[Corey Hallagan]

Thank you Everyone,

But Folks, please remember what I do is not fine woodworking.

It's just finish carpentry with a little higher end material.
Flaws and mistakes are easily hidden, the whole construction process allows for that. Also I have my own methods of construction that would make the
purists among us seek professional help for the nightmares.
(think witch's brew of the chem and adhesive industry)

No, Folks, I couldn't build a chair, much less the amazing
pieces of work some of the so called amateurs here produce..

So in short your kind comments bear a mighty weight and I
thank you all.

Nice work, Per. Is the material mahogany, or Sapele, or a mix?

Per, you're being humble but Its still very nice work!! You should be proud. Excellent!!!

[Jerry Strojny]

It's looking great Per. Great workmanship and finish. Love the pics. Keep them coming.

[Blaine Harrison]

Per,

The colors and finish on the bar and ceiling are a lot of what make this job so nice. Regardless whether you think this is "fine woodworking", you've still done a great job creating a beautiful setting.

Thanks for posting the ongoing saga.

You deserve some liver perforation for the fine work you have accomplished.

[Aaron Montgomery]

Hey Per - Nice work as always! Thanks for sharing! Keep the pictures coming - I always enjoy viewing your work!!

[Gail O'Rourke]

Per - you're wrong, fine woodworking often comes with vision, not just the hand. You have vision and great craftmansship - who needs chairs anyway?

Your do gorgeous work - I wonder if my husband would let me do that to the kitchen?

Have fun.
