Make a wooden rounded corner bar counter.

I make a counter for my bar stools to face my fish tank.

Round corner bar shelf - done


 

I started by measuring how much I wanted to cut out.


I got out a scrap piece of wood the proper length.


Then put a nail through the end.


I only need a little bit of nail sticking through.


I now need a hole the size of a pencil to stick through.


I needed the hole right here…


The pencil also does not need to sick out far.



Here is the center point marking for the curve axis.


That’s where the nail goes. I do not press hard, just enough to keep it in place.
This is done on the back of the board, so it is not shown


Now that’s a good curve.


I then cut it with my scroll saw, routed the edge, and applied stain.




A great bar top facing a fish tank. Nice and relaxing.
