I’m planning on using rough cut cedar for my bar. I know its a soft wood, but the room I’m putting it in was already finished in rough cut cedar wainscoting and it looks really nice. I’m hoping since I’ll be putting a thick coat of poly on top if I decide to use it for the bar top it should be OK. The only issue will be that the bar edge molding won’t match since I only see it in maple/oak/cherry. But I should be able to stain some oak to look decently close. If I can afford it when I get the entire remodel finances settled, a black granite top would look terrific on top of the rough cut cedar.

Any woodworking experts have comments on whether I am making a mistake with such a soft wood, that it might not hold up very well? I don’t want it to look like crap in 5 years that’s for sure!
