The Union Jack Pub is located at the Vint Hill Inn in Vint Hill, Virginia. The purpose of this project was to renovate the bar into an English-style pub. The bar’s front face became straight grain walnut, and the bar top became a sequence of grain-matched walnut burl. Midway along the bar, the Union Jack Pub logo is inlaid to the bar top. Meticulous grain orientation and shading gives a three dimensional effect. To withstand the abuse that a bar top can take, I finished the bar with multiple coats of varnish and polished it to a mirror finish.
