You guys are setting a crazy high standard for the rest of us to live up to! A question, if I may--why walnut for the trim? It's a beautiful wood, but after looking at various options I ultimately went with pine, torched, stained and sealed for all of my routed/carved trim thus far. It just seems easier to work with and is far cheaper than hardwoods (which makes the inevitable screw-up slightly less painful to bear). I'm probably going to have to go with western red cedar for my next bar project, tho.
