I have a red cedar live edge bar top that needs to be attached to a split-level bar top. The counter is easy enough, but I'm struggling with the best way to attach the bar top to the corbels.

My original plan was to drill through the wood and into the stone with concrete anchors, countersink them, and inlay over the top to hide the hardware. But that would require me to do the finishing on-site, which I would rather not.

Plan B is drill pilot holes through the top of the corbels with a long masonry bit and hammer drill, countersink the holes at the bottom of the corbel with a diamond countersink bit to conceal the hardware as much as possible, and then use the anchors to secure the bar top from the bottom.

At this point I'm think plan B is the best option since I can finish the tops before bringing them for the install. I wanted to get some feedback from others on the options, or see if there is another better way of installing these.
