Ash Bar Top at the new Shea Theater

I designed and worked on the remodel of the Shea Theater in Turners Falls. I did lighting, art, Bar, and tables, and a woven drop ceiling. This blog covers  the bartop construction and tables that went with it. These are mostly taken in my Buckland shop. The project took place late 2015 through early 2016.
