As far as the trim, I'm thinking about hanging some sort of matting (probably abaca cloth from Oceanic Arts) on the outer two-thirds of the front of the bar. On the inner one-third I'll frame some sort of Polynesian print. The whole bar will be framed in bamboo moulding. I understand, though, that it splits easily, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to either 1) buy pre-split bamboo that can simply be installed without much cutting or 2) buy whole bamboo and try to cut it in half. Not sure yet.
