Reclaimed Wood Bar

$5,000

This was a design/build bar outfit we made of 250 year old reclaimed oak and chestnut. The bar was made entirely of wood salvaged from a c.1757 homestead that originally stood where the new restaurant was built. We tried to give the bar a refined look which is sometimes a tough task with reclaimed materials. The face frame and post stock was re-sawed and re-planed to give it a clean finished look. The tight wood grains, worm holes, and nail markings really looked spectacular with the clear finish that was applied. Being careful to preserve the original look of the boards, as well as providing a stark contrast to the finished stock, the panels were simply run through a thickness planer with wire brushes. In addition to the primary bar we can provide our clients with any other needed components to complete their remodel such as bar islands and reception areas, back bar cabinetry and shelving, column wraps and box beams, tables and bar stools, bar taps and anything else you may need. We completely understand the time restraints in remodeling bars and restaurants. Muddy River fully assembles the bar in our shop to ensure proper fit and finish. We then dismantle them into a series of components that can be shipped and assembled in the field. This method greatly reduces in field labor and mess while more importantly expediting the building process.

Muddy River Building Company is a design/build co. that specializes in custom built bars, cabinetry and wine rooms for restaurants and bars. We are happy to work with either designers or business owners in a wide variety of roles. Working off of architectural drawings we can dissect the largest bars or wine rooms into a series of smaller components that can be easily transported and installed by either our team of skilled carpenters or your own laborers. We fully assemble the finished bar to assure proper fit and finish before breaking it down, minimizing the work done in the field. This is extremely important when operating under a tight schedule as most restaurants do. In some cases we also work with clients who do not have drawings. You can rely on Muddy River to take your visions, magazine clips or internet pics and translate them to a set of functional architectural drawings that work perfectly for your space.

In addition to the bars we can also provide all the finishing touches to complete your renovation. We have a wood shop as well as steel fabrication. Having these to components together makes for limitless design capabilities.

We can also provide you with the following components:
bars, wine rooms, bar taps, tables and chairs, concrete and metal bar tops, serving stations, reception areas, box beams.
