Epoxy Resin/Bartop Varnish on Rough Pallet Wood
Hi guys,
I have an old bar that I am planning to refurbish. I have an idea in my head and I am wondering if I'm in for a nightmare.
I took 20 pallets apart - I have all sorts of cool looking planks.
I was planning to cover the bar top with the pallets. I am going to rip them on the table saw first, laminate the top of the bar as best as I can, and then plane them once they are on the bar to make it as smooth as possible.
My next step if where I expect I could encounter problems. I have never worked with any type of bar top varnish or epoxy resin, but I am hoping to be able to finish the bar and end up with a super rough looking bar top underneath a smooth mirror-like, thick varnish finish.... am I in way over my head here?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Nic
