Flooded the countertop with the 2nd coat yesterday. Man I wish we already knew the lessons learned from the bar before we did it. The counter top came out amazing. I almost hate to cut into it for the sink. Also I picked up a sample of stain for the bar trim and cabinets. Also installed some half round trim as a rail for bottles behind the bar.

Finished off the last of the epoxy. The bar rail was a huge pain in the ass because the epoxy runs like no other and the rail contours down hill… Stained the back of the bar and plan to stain the cabinets tomorrow or Saturday. I bought all the piping for mounting the shelves. I also decided fully on paneling for the wall behind the the bar. I need to make one last run to Menard’s for paneling, a couple 1x10’s for shelves and stain for the shelves. Hoping to wrap everything up this month and order stools. The sink will have to be addressed later in the year.
I asked him to engrave a few knives for me. Hid old "first" laser didn't work on the handles, but did an excellent job on the blades. The newer one he was talking of getting (I think he did get) was supposed to correct that. Haven't really heard from him since though. Have a hot tub he was interested in.
Finished up staining the cabinets. Also ordered 4 bar stools that should be in this week. Planning a Menards run this week as well for the paneling and shelf materials. I hope to have it all done next Sunday.
For your wall. You mentioned wood. May I suggest old pallets. They can be had free or really cheap and look amazing. Here’s my wall.

DIY accent wall in my basement.
While finishing our basement. I wanted to spice it up a bit with an accent wall. Something differ and unique. Something to “warm” up the room in terms of looks. I just did not want to paint a wall. I had the idea of using old wood with varying shades, colors and stains. It had to be unique and...
Your wall looks fantastic. For easy of install I decided to go with a shiplap paneling. It will be most covered by shelves and bottles anyways. Some of the new paneling looks really good.For your wall. You mentioned wood. May I suggest old pallets. They can be had free or really cheap and look amazing. Here’s my wall.

A single basin sink. That's a good idea for sure. I do have some left over red wood for flight trays but the cut out will be perfect size for a serving board.
That's not all of it, wait for next week's pics. There's about 3-4 boxes in the cabinets that are waiting for the shelves to go up. I won't have any naked shelves, that's for sure.
