Johnny, thanks much! I've been enjoying your latest creations also. The drum looks like it was quite the undertaking. Hope you're staying warm on the other side of the Big Lake.

Mr. Barefoot, I would gladly take your 67 degrees right now, and Hukilau can't come soon enough so I can see tropical palms and coconuts. Raking leaves here is a distant memory, as whatever is left is buried under 14 inches of snow. But let's think happy thoughts, like maybe we'll have a thaw by Christmas and it might hit 40 degrees here one day.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm digging the whole bar set up you've created! You're branching out into new stuff and that's always great to see evolve.

Speaking of new stuff... The little tiki table nears completion...

I finished up the staining and finish on the outside and started on my idea for the top of the tiki. It will more than likely hold a picture or a vase or something but I wanted to do a little something extra with it.

I did the same concept as I did for my bar top... this time making it look like water, sand and shells sitting in the top of the tiki. The top was routed out to make a depression for everything to sit in. The resin is still drying and by Monday afternoon will have hardened. Hoping for delivery on Tuesday. It turned out pretty cool considering it was the first time I did something like this.
