Custom Bars and Islands
Custom Bar/Island, ready for granite
Construction of Island in progress.
This was made from five separate factory-built cabinets,
then I added the angled framing (shown) and all the trim.
The kitchen designer gave this island/bar a furniture look by having me run the base flush with the cabinet doors.
Three-section Bar made from factory-built raised-panel slabs
Under Construction: I mitered and joined the slabs, then built the framing onto it in place.
