Lowell,
The cabinets in the alcove are all regular kitchen cabinets. The actual bar is a J- shaped wall. I am currently thinking about selling different wet-bar plans.

Hello. We are going to make a wet bar entirely out of oak. We are using a non-toxic dark stain. We would like to use a non-toxic sealer/finish. We've got a couple in mind but would like to hear recommendations. Thanks!
