Bar Height Table with Steel Patinated Base
This bespoke custom bar-height wine-tasting table complements my client’s wine room.
The base of this table is made of steel, and I used a blend of chemicals to give it a unique patina. The result is a beautiful marbled, aged copper finish. The copper colors in the steel base accent, the copper-colored lines in the marble countertops, and the greens from the patination process complement the green velvet chairs.
I used Wenge wood for the tabletop because it complements the cabinets’ dark espresso stain. Then, I finished it with a clear coat highlighting the wood’s natural deep espresso brown coloration.
The bar-height table stands at a comfortable bar height of 42” tall. Its spacious top measures 40” wide by 86” long and 4” thick.
The top is not solid but it is a torsion box that is veneered with shop sawn wenge.
It is weighted with concrete bucks placed inside to prevent the slim base from tipping over.

If you want to see how I built the base. Sorry, I didn't film the top.

Very nice!
This is great, I really like what you did with the base. If I had a wine room and the money I would get you to make me one just like it.
