I have built the bar top of the breakfast bar. It is made from khaya, a type of mahogany. The design idea for the bar is that the top surface wraps vertically at the end of the cabinetry, forming a miter at the transition. The grain runs continuously around the corner. To get the width and thickness I needed, I glued smaller pieces together. The bar top is 17.75 inches wide, 10 feet long, and 1.5 inches thick.

Don't change a thing in the way you make your videos! They are an eleven on the 1 to 10 scale!
Great to see, that even the experts measure wrong.
Beautiful! make a fridge wrap around with the Khaya as well, that will tie it all together, you're not only a master craftsman you're a designer as well, I love the wood choices!
How many inches of overhang is that bar? Looks smaller than 12".
get the yellow board stretcher!!!!
tired and stressed, ive never seen you make so many mistakes on a comparatively simple project. huge learning curve for this whole project!
Frank! Thanks for being human!! Wood is so replaceable/repairable. Fingers and parts of hands are not. By the grace of God, I can still pick my nose with the best of them!! :-) I still have all my fingers even after ten years as a machinist and thirty years as a woodworker.
Well done! What's the height of your breakfast bar?
amazing videos you make. and, a dream shop to work in!
Osmo oil looks great for worktops and resists liquid stains. Best of both worlds.
