Ill echo your pains with mitring - it ain't easy.

I first did skirting about 7/8 years & ago - I used a lot of filler!

Having watched a professional do it more recently, I thought it was about cutting the wood as close as you can, shaving the last little bit off & gently tapping the wood into place.

I think it is... I'm slightly better for a bit of age & experience but I still don't have a pros knack.

I went to a few tiki bars & looked at the decor in preparation for doing mine - the skills on display aren't always better.

Don't beat yourself up, you are examining it close up - a guest to your bar will be wowed by the whole thing not the individual parts.

Still, if you can, use trim to cover the bits you don't like :)

The front of the bar looks great! I got my carved trim from Cheeky Tiki & it's pretty reasonable prices.

Keep up the good work!
