The New Yankee Workshop Season 11 Episode 5

Teak Bar

Woodworkers who entertain are going to love making Norm's attractive, custom-designed teak bar. Featuring great-looking, nautical-inspired brass hardware and stunning louver doors, the bar promises to hold everything a party giver needs. The interior of the wall-mounted upper cabinet features a traditional mirror back, two glass shelves, and accent lighting to showcase a prized glass or crystal collection. The bottom cabinet unit features a durable teak countertop with a hammered-brass service sink and spout for easy cleaning. Underneath, a divided cabinet features a roll-out tray for storing spirits and snacks on one side and enough space to accommodate an ice maker on the other. Though Norm admits its louver and sliding doors make it a more complex woodworking project, its decorative appeal and utilitarian value justify the challenge.
