My wife Sally and I just completed our bar last month. It's a classic '60's boomerang shape. The body is bamboo (2" splt on the sides and 1" bamboo & lauhaula weeve on the front). The bar top is birch with shells, starfish, sand dollars and Oahu north shore sand scattered around on top beneath four layers of epoxy resin. We purchased all the materials (and some tools) at Home Depot and Solai Bamboo. I think our total out of pocket expenses were about $200.00. And with the material we had left over we built a really cool mug shelf (similar to the one on the cover of Beach Bum Berry's Intoxica). Any thirsty TC'ers who find themselves down San Diego way are welcome to stop in for a drink.
