Thanx for the info/tips, Benz. I've really enjoyed this 'flat panel carving stuff' and will be doing more soon for the posts of the hut/bar thing. Swanky- I think I'm going w/ corrugated fiberglass panels for the roof. I found some really thick, durable stuff at Blowe's in a nice, hunter green kinda color. May do the gable portion of the roof with clear panels for some natural light. SurfT-- Yea, I was bangin' away on some boards while you were riding boards-catcha next time! Curved wedge, hmmmm, that's a good idea, if I'm thinkin' along the same lines as you. (I think I am) TikiMike-also a good idea. I haven't done any rope/lashing work before but I've seen it used very nicely here and elswhere. I'll have to do some research. Thanks again for looking and giving suggestions. I'm gonna have to do some 'general carpentry' now to get the gable panel to stay where it's supposed to, then off to phase 2, and I'm not exactly sure what that is going to be yet. Maybe a palm thatch overhang for the front. I've also got 500 feet of bamboo that's going in somewhere. Check back soon.
