I recently finished this Mahogany bar and thought I would share some of the photos. My Pop and I have been building interiors for over 25 years and we haven’t killed each other yet! For more on our work our website is XXXXXXX.

WOW, that is really beautiful !!!!

I would love to have that place.... but I sure won't want to have to pay for it.

Did you do the ceiling also?

This job was a beast! We did everything from milling all the moldings to installing the coffered ceiling and even the finishing. We worked on it for about 3 to 4 months, on and off.

Bryan,

Beautiful work!

How did you orient the bar rail trim in the miter saw to get such tight joints? It looks smokin' good.

Practice and I use a 10” Hitachi compound slide saw, This saw is the best

Bryon, Thanks for sharing your work. Man you guys do amazing work. People with skills such as yours leave me truly speechless. There is another Father-Son team that frequents SMC, Per and Bob Swenson, that also do amazing work. I love my Dad, but I don't think we would survive being around each other for 4 months, let alone to be able to create something like that. Hope you keep coming back and sharing your skill/art. Regards, Bill

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. My dad has always been my best friend, I’ve been truly blessed. I couldn’t even read a measuring tape when I went to work for him. I even started a website called XXXXXX To bad he doesn’t know how to turn on the computer

My hat is off to you! Now that is a smokin bar. I bet your client is going to spend a lot of time there.
You and your dads workmanship is outstanding.

Very nice work!
Got more pics, details, other rooms?
It must be quite a place to support having that bar in it.
Impressive!

Wow! That's heavy duty sweet! The wood, the stone, the tile, the lighting. All sweet. SMC's Per Swenson does some nice stuff like this too. He also works with his Dad.

As the others have said. Amazing work.

If that's the basement I can't imagine what the rest of the house looked like :)

Truly amazing work. You and your Dad are clearly fine craftsmen. I would love to work with my Dad one day... Too bad I moved 1300 miles away.

Thanks for showing your work. Cal

Wow! Not what I was expecting to see when I clicked on "Basement Pictures." My basement certainly doesn't look like that. Beautiful work!

WOW - amazing work. I am with Hank - when I clicked this thread I expected to see pictures of .... well, a basement. I did NOT expect this - outstanding.

Bryan,

Very, very nice. May I ask what type of stain and finish you used?

Pete London

I ran home and lunch and saw this and commented. Then I showed my wife and she said, hey that must be in Atlanta as I think I saw similar work at a "Street of Dreams house." Could it be? Not that I could afford such a job...let alone the bar rail.

Man you guys are too nice, it’s a real pleasure showcasing our work to people who appreciate the time and effort it takes to create something like this. We’ve done quite a few big jobs around Atlanta and hopefully the phone will keep ringing.
Thanks again, Bryan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
