Maybe I'm going (going?) Insane but I distinctly remember being able to craft bar pieces through carpentry... where are they?
It actually was a piece used in the custom house plots. You had to place them through the house editor. (Similar to waterfalls and fences)
We do not have any of the custom house features here. If you are interested in what you can do here, you might want to check out some of the pictures from the house decorating contests, I recommend going back as far as you can, I imagine you will be surprised at what can be accomplished with imagination and stacking.
I remember mad stacking skills back before the decorators tool was available, I'm just lazy now. Perhaps it could be a plat item or gold sink?
