Vitu Waitui - Home Tiki Bars

Of course, I later found an old nautical jump seat with incredible patina. I don’t think I could have built the bar without eBay, Craigslist and Offer Up. I added the jump seat as a fifth spot for a butt, in case the bar was ever too crowded. To the best of my knowledge and despite the bar being packed, the seat has never been used, I still think it’s fun. The picture doesn’t do it justice. For the foot rail I found some weathered brass foot rail supports (eBay) and rope wrapped the bar. Durable and arguably nautical.
