Walnut Bar with Tambour, Brooklyn

In May 2026 we built and installed a walnut bar for an interior designer and her client in a fully renovated brownstone in Brooklyn.

The home was already designed and furnished, so the bar had to match the existing cabinetry. That color is called "iron walnut," a traditional walnut tone blended with black. Dark, but not so dark that you lose the grain. We got there by mixing several oil-based stains until it matched.

Joel ran the tambour on the molding machine in our shop on Pratt Oval in Glen Cove. You can watch the process in the video below.

These photos were taken right after we installed the bar. The contractors added the marble cladding to the base after we left.
