Far out tiki Scott! and while on the subject of square wood, where do you get your timber? Our Home Depot and Lowes don't have beams that size. |

amate!! thnx for stoppin in! took the pics close up cuz he was small but hes only 6inch!lol! the finish was tough cuz he was small and i was away from my goodies at home! lol! i bought a small detail paint brush and some flat enamel black paint and put it in all the grooves and where i like to have contrast then had to sand off any over paint(very annoying!) then staind w red oak stain two light coats let dry and thande w semi gloss thane. thats it! and as for speacial projects.... yes i have two that im almost ready to get goin on! one is an outdoor kitchen/tiki hut w a small bar and lots of cool tiki stuff!!! the other is a suprise!! haha its gonna be cool!! i have three tikis i need to do for a pet shop right away but the customer wants something cheap that looks old so they should be pretty easy to get out of the way! and i will be postin pics of all. thnx again for stoppin in and come on back anytime!!!! cheerz!! |
