So while I waited for the shipment of lumber and roofing material to get here today, I decided to cement the tiki bar name by carving it into a sign. I used a 'maple flame billet' as the base, which has a 'live edge' at the top. Never made one before, so was hoping for a little beginner's luck....

Designing...

First pass of carving...

Applying some espresso stain...

And so I had to stop because the shipment of lumber came. That took 2 hours to move from front yard to back yard. This is half of it, or the PT wood to finish the exterior portion.

Here's a random picture of lumber....

And then finally, after a long days hard work of moving lumber, carving a sign, and actually helping a friend move, here is the 'final' product which will be hung on the exterior wall of the bar.
