Hey whats goin on. I'm almost finished with the bar top for my Friki Tiki pontoon boat, which is essentially a floating Tiki Bar/Lounge. It's all handcrafted. Ripped a 4x8 sheet of furniture grade plywood into a 3x8 section, save the 1' excess for the top shelf. Stained the entire bar, carved the lower trim by hand, built a liquor bottle rack, covered that in ostrich skin and trimmed the whole rack in bamboo, drew the logo on the bar and pistols and carved them, trimmed the sink and top shelf supports in bamboo, everything was stained and cleared. The stainless bucket will be my ice bucket, the dark brown container is for bar utensils, and im building a box to enclose the lower part of the blender to ensure safe traveling in rough water. I've also built a bar cabinet for the bar to hold glasses and other bar related items. Here are a couple pictures of the bar top. Also drew and carved a little bar sign to hang above the bar on a couple little chains. Hope you enjoy!

And here is a picture of my old boat to give you an idea of what this bar is going on. The new boat will be similiar.

I'm gonna try to take some more pictures tonight, hopefully a few of the bar cabinet if I can get it trimmed out.
