 Lower level bar on the left, brick wall with stone art nitch next to door leading out to screen porch |  We glued kerf core onto the frame of the bar |  A look from the inside showes the framing and the kerf core with a strip of drywall on the top |  Peices of Kerf core are glued on to make frames | ||
 The steel column ended up right there so we covered it with brick and built the bar around it. |  This showes how the kerf core plywood is wrapped around the framing |  We filled some low spots with a water putty. It's very similar to what they would do in a body shop with a car. |  Another layer of Kerf core was added at the bottom for a base around the bar. | ||
 The low spots and all the open grain in the plywood is filled with a diluted water putty. This will help bond the veneer to the plywood. |  After the putty & sanding is complete, we covered the bar with a sanding sealer. This will seal all the grain so the contact cement does not soak into the wood. |  Hickory veneer is cut with a utility knife and a streight edge. The contact cement is then applied to the back. |  The bar is covered with a water based contact cement. Just a section at a time is covered so we can keep up with the veneer peices. | ||
