I am starting this thread so I can share the progress, or lack thereof, in the creation of my Tiki bar and lounge. My first little project to share is my shark jaws. I picked up 2 sets of shark jaws while vacationing on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I wanted to display them in the Tiki lounge. I decided to wire them to a board and then hang them from the wall like a painting. What I did was to cut out two shapes from plywood. One is just an oval but the other I cut in the shape of a shark. I painted them black so the shark outline is like a silhouette. I wired the jaws to the cutouts. I put up fishing nets and floats, the shark jaws, and a metal "danger no swimming sharks" sign. I added some glass floats hanging from the ceiling to make it a little more 3 dimensional.
