We've officially decided to call the place "Tiki Lagoon". Pretty odd for Arizona, but it's working. We're shooting for some Tiki Room style elements (of course). I made a sign from some warped 3/4 plywood I got from the off-cut bin at Home Depot. The background woodgrain is painted, and the letters are 1/4 in. foam, glued on with contact cement. I made the bamboo border out of halved wine corks I found in a huge jar at the neighbors' yard sale. Then I added some off-cut fake boo as bookends, from the now finished bar project in the bottom pic. Then I fiberglass resin painted the whole thing. Whatcha guys think? (We still need to put stuff on the barback)
