It looks all spotty/dappled, is it Tiger bamboo?

Agreed, nice work. It's okay to call it Japanese style too. Have you ever made a deer scare?

Very nice. Not much needed to tikify it :D

As an aside, down under we get more S/E Asia influence (particularly Bali) than Hawaiiana, which is fair enough given where we are. Most of it, just take out Buddha and insert a tiki and its rockin TC style.

A Arrrrrrrrr!!! Bar Pyrat Ship

And, possibly something modern.

These are deer scares, or "shishi odoshi".

Cool Ben, good to see you did Art's house. I was wondering why you hadn't done it before. Looks great!

Good stuff Ben!

The versatility of bamboo is great, and gives your business a wide variety of settings to work with.

Whether a jungle or a beach, Hawaii or Japan, bamboo works.

I've noticed a huge trend towards bamboo for building materials, flooring is real popular now.

Bamboo grows faster than trees, and withstands a good deal of abuse.

Looking forward to more pictures.
