Hi Everyone,
I have been reading through the forums trying to find an answer to my question but as a real amateur when it comes to woodworking, I am getting rather confused.
I am building a bar in our summerhouse and am looking for the best wood to make the bar top and counter surfaces. The bar top will be L shaped and I was hoping for a single piece so that I don't need to deal with joins. Dimensions are 1.7m x 0.7m at widest point.
I have some hardwood plywood (B&Q) don't laugh, in my garage that would keep costs down, but I don't know if this would be able to be stained and varnished to look good.
What would you all recommend that I use? Local Timber merchant said they can glue planks together to get the size, would this be a better option than the ply?
I don't really know what to ask for when going to timber yard, so simple terms if possible.
