Okay, here's another view of the corner:

There's that Tiki again! In this shot you can see the sea grass on the roof a bit better. It looks good with just this but that Heather fencing will really make this roof pop!

Here we are just starting to mount it after we had cut it to fit:

Quite awkward to do and you need at least two people to do this. Don't know how the great Bamboo Ben does it!! Working on the ceiling is one of the hardest and back breaking things!!

Here is a shot of the left side:

Kind of awkward to get a good shot of it but here is one of the right side once the Heather was mounted:

You also get to see the bench as well as the large bamboo that will go on either side of the doorway.

I want the bamboo on the walls in this area, under the Hut, to go either side of the bench and meet up with the bar area. I wanted to carry this theme on with the bench design as well. I had done this same style on a previous bench and liked the way it came out.

First I had to add wood that was going to frame the bamboo that would be mounted to the bench. I forgot to take a picture of the unfinished wood once it was all cut and mounted.

Here is a shot of the wood mounted and stained:

In the plain, unfinished areas is where I will mount the bamboo.

Like this:

You won't see any of the backing once completed.

A few trick cuts and this end complete:

Alot of cuts but it comes out nice:

Here's the smaller left bench done along with the bamboo mounted on this side of the wall as well:

I went with a smaller bamboo just to break it up but also because I did not want to use a thick bamboo that stuck out past the finished wood.

Another shot of the area not quite finished:

I will post some more shots soon.
