This allowed me to put the bamboo half over the 90-degre angle where the bar top and side come together. A few finish nails hold the trim on (be sure and drill pilot holes). I wasn't able to get a perfectly flush meeting on the bar top, so I used colored caulk to fill and blend. It is a bit "rustic," but for an outside bar like mine it was fine. I imagine you could use a belt sander to even out and bevel the edge of the bamboo if you wanted a more finished effect. GREAT bit of info...thanks so much, I'll be back at it here in about a week, may look at giving that a try.... PS///LOVE YOUR BUILD>>>> [ Edited by: newB24 2011-09-20 11:52 ]
