Description:
After over 6 months of work, The Leeward Lounge is finally far enough along that I feel comfortable showing it to everyone. It still needs furniture which I will buy over New Years, there is still a fountain that needs to be constructed, and there is a lot of booze that needs buying! All the basics are there though, although all of you know a tiki bar is never finished :wink: .

I want to give some people a special thanks:

Congatiki, Hewey, Kirby, Chisel Slinger, and Lake Surfer for letting me display their amazing art.

The Haole Kats, Pablus, The Crazed Mugs, and the Mensters for providing me with a great tiki soundtrack while I pounded away.

Woofmutt, for letting me use his Pink Wink recipe for my menu.

Benzart, Bamboo Ben, Dawntiki, Aaron's Akua, Moondance, Foamy, Exotica59, Rodeotiki, Polysesiac, Swanky, Scispy and all others who continue to give moral support.

And each and every one of you who take interest in any of my posts. You are all wonderful people who have inspired me and changed my life in a wonderful way. Mahalo!

My Chisel Slinger was the first tiki I ever owned

One of my Lake tikis

My Hewey drawing hung inside a bamboo frame that I tried to make

I just love Bosko

My Danelectro which I almost never play anymore

My Kirby. This pic doesn't show how well the painting affects the whole mood of the bar. Just wonderful.

My other Lake tiki who is obviously upset because he has no hands to open up that Havana Club with.

Thanks everyone, you're all welcome to stop by for a drink!
