Thanks, polynesiac !
I'm actually in the extreme NE part of PA, quite near the NY border. As for the rough cut wood, I used Hemlock, which is quite inexpensive although somewhat hard to find. It seems the local mills don't like dealing with it because it is too "sappy".
Upon further inspection, these pictures leave out alot of the details, and details are at the heart of any good Tiki Lounge. I'll try to take some better pictures and get them up before too long.

At this stage, there are 2 major things left to do.....build a Tiki Drum Riser, and figure out how to put in a good sized TV. I want to install the TV in such a way as to keep the "Moderness" of the device from disrupting the late 50's-early 60's vibe I'm trying to evoke. With a flat screen, I can hide it behind the bar mirror, or I do have a 50's freestanding TV cabinet that I could put it in, although that limits the TV size....Any other suggestions would be welcome
