:tiki: I just started doing some wood working, with a few tips & alot of inspiration from Bamboo Ben how it fits in to the rest of the Decor.... Now Punk & Tiki mix well, like a Mai Tai with attitude. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-12-04 18:46 ] [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-12-04 18:47 ] |

Thanks, I did apply a light stain & sealed it with semi gloss varathane, hard to notice in the pictures, but your right a different finish might look better? Thanks for your input, Thanks 1961surf for the offer also. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-09-03 12:38 ] [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-09-03 12:38 ] |

Great shelf. But the white walls dont work with tiki. Try a green or orange. |

Here is how it looks in the whole room, the wife had to jump in to add some color. Now Punk & Tiki mix well, like a Mai Tai with attitude. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-09-03 18:18 ] |

I like the small scale of the shelf too. The notch details really sell it. And what nice digs you have. |

Hi Ben, I know! I hate the white room!!!!!! I have been putting pressure on the Landlord to let me change the color one caveat, the opposite wall is wood panel which I kinda like, here is a pic, hope the rest of you can forgive the white paint. |

I got around to making a few new things in the same sytle as the first shelf...All props go to Bamboo Ben, this is clearly inspired by his style. I needed a couple of new frames for some Doug Horne prints... Also I wanted to mount a couple of masks in a custom frame.... And last I needed a new Mug Shelf for those new Tiki Farm mugs... Now Punk & Tiki mix well, like a Mai Tai with attitude. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-09-18 01:24 ] [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-09-18 01:26 ] |

here's a suggestion..don't know if anyone mentioned it...years ago, when i used to rent, i had white walls in the tiki room too...i found a way around it by going to the salvation army and buying as many bamboo matchstick roll down curtains they had....i hung these on the walls, dead center according to size...next, i hung my masks and tiki displays over the top of it...it made all the difference in the world. when the time came to move, all i had to do was patch a few holes...no paint, no mess. ..forgot to mention, cut all the strings and remove the roller mechanism from the curtains..you won't need them...otherwise it looks like you just slapped a curtain up on the wall...without them in the way it looks like a concious design decision....

Got around to a few more projects, My wife wanted a wall mount wine rack, I know who needs wine when you got Mai Tai's Next I wanted to mount one of those funky Moai lamps, I think all of us have, in a shadow box frame, I thought I would try a Witco look on this one, so I burned the layers, then scrapped with a wire brush to get the wood grain to show. Last I needed a base for one of my Moai's.... That's it for this weeks crafts, back to work. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-10-05 03:40 ] [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2009-10-05 03:42 ] |

About time to post new stuff.... Wes gave me a Bamboo frame, Had some of those CocoJoe Moais, a little Leopard print fabric background, cut out a new backboard, throw it all together and here it is... I wanted a Barstool to match our Bamboo Ben Bar,I think it matches pretty well... Just took some scrapes of thatch & Bamboo, a Bamboo Curtain & a Doug Horne Shield to dress up a plain looking entry way... Took this Mug Shelf I built earlier & installed LED track lights, these are really cool, they cycle threw 5 colors, have 4 program modes I did paint a wall just for Ben, see.... Thats it for now.....
