Finally started work on the awning yesterday. I knew it would be the most challenging element and it is...

Cut down a 2 x 4 and beveled the face and 1 end. Next, used a rotary file to burrow channels for the bamboo ribs...

Cut and fit each rib and attached with a dowel through a 1/4" hole which had to be drilled and, of course, every other piece of bamboo would split, but pretty good result...

Hope to have this thing sanded, stained, sealed and glued together and maybe hung up this weekend. We'll see.....

Much thanks for the kind words and encouragement!
