GREAT hands-on day today here starting to see the inside of the bar come together! Dirty & tired, we wrapped it up around 8:30 tonight.
Oh - and, yes, one our our handful of truly COLD-ASS days here in Austin, so we tried to stay warm with a little fire.......
The day started off with some pretty light duty work....Ben was easing us into it ;)
First, we started designing the trim boards, which will be routed & stained:
Then the wall matting started to go up!
This particular matting is called Bac Bac
Then - the FUN really began!
See all of these...........
These are boards which will become shelving all around the bar
ALL of them have to be first burned to a dark color.....
& then Each one has to be brushed with a grill brush to get the char off - the color remains, which will later we treated with a clear coat.
CRAZY DIRTY job - for sure!!!
And, while we only got a few boards scraped, we felt like coal miners by the end of the night!
MORE dirty work tomorrow night after work!
















Like the Bac Bac. All is very cool looking and nice to see both of you getting your very own touch on it!
