I'm in the process of building a chickee hut and need a carving done on the top of the cypress center pole that will be extending thru the top. I got some good ideas looking at this site and noticed that there were several of you in the area. I'm not a carver myself and wouldn't want to make a first attempt on this one. Any interest or suggestions of someone in the area that might be able to help me out? |

Traveler or anyone else- Where do you get cypress poles? I am starting an outdoor bar/hut project of my own and have had no luck thus far - hoping to use a combination of 4.5" and 2" diameter (cypress or cedar) poles for the uprights and framing the entire roof. I'm in the Ft Myers area... |

Noob - Traveler likely won't be back on TC. I know there are a few local mills that sell cypress pole, but I don't know where they are. Try an internet search for cypress lumber or pole. I hope to hear from him soon, so if he calls, I'll try to get some info for you. McTiki - I spent it :P !!! -Gman |
