We worked on the Bar counter which butts up to the curved corner wall between the kitchen and living room.  In order to ensure a good fit, I made a template first.  Then I cut the plywood (same plywood as the kitchen counter) to fit.The clear coated Poplar plywood looks really nice and has an interesting grain coloration right in the center.  Eventually, we would like to have some sort of solid surface counter like granite or concrete but for now this will do,
