Final Touches on Jason's Kitchen

Scroll down below to earlier blogs to see what this photo angle used to look like. After the shark boat, this is what I have been working on, among other smaller projects.

There are many interesting details. This column for instance that helps divide the two rooms. The dentilled crown on the beam above, the corbels that hold up the bar top. The pegs in the corbels.













The bartop has a lot of visual interest. First, being made out of the longleaf heart pine that used to hold up the floor explains the distressing on the edges, literal nail holes that look great. Second, the top is hand planed to show different kinds of tool marks and third, bowtie shaped inlays from a different species of wood make a great contrast in the wood.
Many who have followed Jason's kitchen from the beginning know that the beams in the air are original to the house. Also longleaf heart pine, they were sanded down, stained and lacquered to have striking visual detail.

Leaving no stone unturned, we turned a practically unusable space into a space that is not only beautiful, but unordinarily practical. A space for everything. There's even an elevator. Just kidding. Posted by Picasa

  1. I love the counter-top.

    I was looking at a place today that had beautiful woodwork throughout it and particularly had some cool doors and handles that I thought you would like.

    Nice work. Glad it's going well.
