Backyard Tiki Hut - Deck finished! Pg. 3 - Other Crafts

The stain was darker in the grooves which helped give some definition. Also I used a satin varnish, so the reflected light from the edges really helps define the patterns. Update: I finished all of the electrical wiring for the lights, so I'll be posting some night photos pretty soon. Also, work has begun on the waterfall for the back corner. I'm snapping progress photos and should be posting some this week. We've been having wet weather and I've had a multitude of house guests recently, so progress has been kind of slow lately. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
