Aloha everyone,

I have debated about posting my modest build for awhile; I'm in awe of some of the fantastic work the folks here have done on their bars.
I decided to go ahead and post because:

1. I had a blast building it.
2. We really like hanging out in it.
3. I wanted to encourage others who may be hesitant to try a build.

Although I love all things tiki, I'm not really a collector. My approach to this build, in as much as I had one, was kind of a 'beach shack'.
The criteria was: it had to be cheap to build, as I had a small budget. I was very fortunate to have a buddy give me a bunch of bamboo from a abandoned Trader Joe's display, so I had some good pieces to work with.
Some of you might be interested in the floor; I went with the paper bag technique because, again, cheap!
Anyway, If you have 4:44 to waste, here's a slideshow I put together on the construction and etc.
I did a search here for 'Oahu Room' and came up empty; my apologies if someone else has that name.
Thanks for watching.
