Retro Project: A Bar

I love this project from the March 1978 issue of CHW, especially the decor–a rifle, hunting knife and snowshoes! Of course, the weathered boards look great, but I think there’s a bit of “board overload” going on. If I were building such a bar, I’d mix the weathered wood with some modern, more subtle materials, so the wood would pop. Maybe just the counter and the supports would be wood.

How might you change the project?
