We sheathed the new storage box (pictures of that in a moment) above the bar in planking to simulate wooden crates. The open space will have a rack for glasses. The exposed plywood now has split bamboo covering it, but not in this picture.

Installing the lights for over the bar.

Here's a shot of the storage box before the crating is installed.

You can see the storage box in the top left here. The lights in the bar are not this bright. It's a long exposure. They're blue and shine down through the planks like you're looking through the deck of a ship. The service light in the middle will be surrounded by a box that looks like a deck hatch.

Cutting bamboo for the post that holds the house up as well as acting as a conduit for electrical to the storage box and upper lights.

Bamboo post in the right foreground.

The other bamboo post is in this shot. That white TV cable is temporary until we get the cable run to the other side of the room for the new TV location.

Torching some bamboooooooo...

Lauhala and carbonized bamboo up.
