There are about 3 or 4 things left on the original build out that are undone. THis Sunday I decided to knock out one of them.

The rafter in the bar I have wanted to be trimmed out in carved panels. We did one side a bit ago. I did the other yesterday.

Got a 1 x 12 x 12 and ripped it to the right width and cut to length.

Used my trusty pattern and rolled it with paint and pressed it on the wood after marking a center line.

Startign to route out the swirls. I used a 3/8 inch round bit, but I think 1/4 inch would have been better.

Finished the middle.

A finished section.

Used a V bit for the edges. This all went way faster this time because I had done it before. I made the mistakes and spent hours planning and figuring already. I went to the store for the wood about 10:30, and the whole thing was done by 4:30.

This is the piece just after torching it.

And this is after rubbing it out with a tire brush.

A long view during torching.

It is all installed, but my camera flash was not working, so no pics. The bar is too dark, even with the main lights on and the blinds open to get a picture.

I need to look back at the original To Do list, but I think all that is left is to light the back of the masks on the bar front.
