One thing that was strange was when I went to Home Depot to buy some wood for building the bar the guy that worked there asked me what I was going to build. I told him your not going to believe this but a Tiki bar. I thought he would laugh and give me a strange look, but instead said his son used the same boards for a Tiki bar he is building. I was shocked, we live in a small town in the country, I never expected to hear of anyone else thinking Tiki around here. Kind of putting off Tiki, I didn't want to get discouraged early on. I can not draw very well, is there any way to get a design to wood without just looking at a pic and trying to draw it ? I would like to make some myself,or try, I can't afford to buy what I would like, it can get expensive. I have looked at some Tiki mask, they would fit in great on the poles.
