The idea I have for the bar is that the tiki bar was built into a mountain/lava flow. I'm going to carry the rock formation in the center, put it on either side of the bar, and also do a working volcano in the back that empties into an aquarium. Using a float valve and a 1/4" supply line, should not have to worry about any evaporation issues (that part of the build is a few months away).

I added lathe to the bottom chord so that the rock is coming out of the bar and spilling onto the floor.

Scratch coat is on. Guess I need to wait 7-10 days until it cures before I put on the texture pattern, which will be a surface bonding concrete.

Gives an idea of the size of the bar, total visible roof line is 16 foot.

Also, figured out my lashing "issue". Stole an idea to just use a finishing nailer to put strips of rope in the blank spots, then used a Japanese Mark 2 square not to finish it off. Came out pretty good, I think.
