Quoted from Damonowskivich:Here is an imgur album (http://imgur.com/a/f8SsP ) with the entire project construction of the game room. Towards the end are pics of the bar construction. I managed to get most of the construction steps, but missed pics of the particle board underlying the walnut bar top. Luckily for us, friends of ours own a tree-cutting service and gifted us 4 twelve foot long boards of walnut for the project. Our contractor took the nicest pieces of the rough-cut wood for the bar top and used the remaining for the rear edge/shelf and other touches.
We used Parks super glaze epoxy for the bar top coating and put 2 coats on over a few weeks (takes about 3 days to fully cure at room temp).
Very, very nice renovation.
