Custom Keezer Bar Top

[eagles7488]

Here is the Keezer build we made. This is a standard keezer build but the top is with a custom grain design. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from this forum, so I thought I would share my design ideas with anybody else looking to build.

Awesome! How in the crap did you form the words with the grain?? Is that acrylic covering the grain??

I would drink a beer at that keezer bar anytime ...

Thanks. It was a lot of painstaking work, but a custom stencil for the words made things a little bit easier. We laid the stencil down and then sprayed an adhesive over it. We stuck as much black patent malt as we could to that and filled around with 2-row. We then poured an epoxy resin coating over the grain in three levels. There was a lot of grain that tried to float around, so we had to keep an eye on it until it had dried enough to stay in place.

It was several hours of work but I am really proud of the way it turned out.

That is really a neat look. I briefly considered using grains/epoxy but in the end, I chickened-out and used stainless steel peel-and-stick adhesive tiles. Great job though!

If I had thought about the stencil idea, I might have actually gone through with something similar. Nicely done!
