bar top for a 10 foot bar – bar top for a 10 foot bar

[Anonymous]

Any suggestions? I can’t find a 4×10 sheet of Oak veneer.

I’m in the same boat. Although I haven’t really searched too extensively yet. I know the big box stores don’t carry them. I hoping a smaller building supply company could order it for me. Please post back what you find. thanks

You won’t find a 4×10 anything…ever!

for a 10 footer or longer , you will need to seam the bar top or if you really want the longer bar with no visible seams, you may want to consider some type of laminate top.

I think you both may be out of luck ?? If you need to have a seem by using two seperate sheets. Th best you could do is try to match the grain pattern as best you could. It may even mean wasting half a sheet to get the best grain match up .
Is there any way you can make this problem look like you planned it ? I mean could you make the top in say 3 sections with some sort of devider (strip of solid stock) seperating each section. If you had to butt joint ends anyway why not make it less obvious with a space between them. The contrast in wood grain direction may not look that bad, especially if you experiment with different widths of solid stock.

I found a 4×10 piece of red oak plywood, not veneer, could I use that?

Sure you can. I never knew they made a sheet of plywood 10′ long . You said it’s not veneer. Even better, no seam to worry about. Must be a little pricey but, sometimes you pay for what you get.

actually the same company, Boulter Plywood has a 3/4″ 4×10 piece of red oak veneer as well, so i opted for that. They also had 4×8 sheets of oak beadboard. thanks
