I will post a picture of it (http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/7018/dscf14229af.jpg) and the rest of the room during the Bar build(http://img431.imageshack.us/img431/9301/dscf14141mz.jpg). I am working on the rest of the room now. I have the cabana matting wainscot on the walls and I wanted to do a bamboo chair rail to hide the top of the matting and the seams. The problem that bothers me is that when I lay the rail out and I butt joint to a a vertical piece there are gaps and it looks unfinished. Any suggestions of how to make the mating of these poles look more finished? And as I am a visual person pics are always appreciated. -Lingam
