Hi, this is all Bullet's design. The two types of matting he wanted to use were not going to cover the wall. So he came up with tapa cloth that he cut into strips. It will all be edged in bamboo. We have just started that and it's taking a while. Bamboo is hard so we drill the holes and then screw it to the wall.

If you are coming to see your aunt in the future PM me and I'll see if I can set up a tour at our home and maybe Brooks too. Wendy

Thanks for the infor and for the offer to view your work. My wife and I may just take you up on your kind offer.

When I started construction of my Home bar, "Tiki Nui", I got lots of tips from the staff at Oceanic Arts. I bought most of my material from them. Mike at OA told me when drilling Bamboo, always countersink the holes to prevent the Bamboo from splitting. You probably already knew that but I am just a novice but have learned a lot from people like you and Mike from OA.
Visit the Tiki Nui under new home bars.
