A little faux bamboo paint job on my bar edging fer ye.

Base coat

Finished w/ faux bamboo. Base coated, glazed, nodes painted, sealed and toned to make a little darker like the rest of my real bamboo. Sorry-no stepxstep pics when I was doing this, had to work fast.

Here I've placed a pile of scanned, photoed or otherwise copied and printed ephemera on the bar top. I used Modgepodge (sp?) to hold it down then the pour on resin gets poured on.

Another shot of the bar top--pre pour.

You can't really tell in this pic but the 'Pour-on' resin has been applied, dried and is good to go. You can see the reflection of the bamboo in the background of the pic on the bartop that might give you an indication of how slick, thick and shmoooov this stuff is. It's really laid on thick too-prolly close to a quarter inch thick.

Mo pics soon--got a lot done in the Jungalero Room last night to get ready for a large party this coming Sat. 12-15 so I'll get those pics up as soon as I can find the time. Tanx for looking.
