I built this not-exactly-tiki backyard bar for my friend's annual BBQ bash. Tiki Central proved to be invaluable during design and build. The bar's carcass is plywood assembled with biscuits and reinforced with cleats. It is covered with bamboo beach matting and trimmed with bamboo. The roof is also plywood; covered (on the top) with a grass table skirt. The "carvings" were sawn out and dremmeled for a 3D effect. The "Cheral" in the sign comes from my friends names, Al and Cher (their twin boys are "D" and "G"). Another view of the roof. The frog was something my friends already had. I think it works well, even though it's not really tiki. Plenty of room for beverages, garnishes, and tiki-torch fuel?? Originally the pinapple and bannanas were supposed to go on the side of the bar. However, last minute changes to the roof and supports left JUST too little room for them on the side. So they ended up on one of the roof supports. Bartender McDonald greets visitors! Not really, they had rescued this carved wood clown a few months prior. After some repairs and paint, he (unintentially) looks like a certain fast-food mogel. -Jason.
