I was leaning more toward a rusty tin roof this go around. I had a palm thatch roof on it but, it only last about 3 years here, we have pretty harsh winters here in kansas. I may do tin and check on some artificial thatch to lay over it for the tropical look. Yep....when finished it will be a nice paradise to hang out!! I'm having a ton o fun doing it!! Here is a pic from 3 years ago.....in the beginning.

We have great blue herons and king fishers that wipe out most pond fish around here, and what THEY don't get the neighborhood cats and random racoons get! Heard about one place that strung fishing line all across it to thwart the buggers - myabe that black plastic netting might work and be not as visible? Nice place by the way!

I have guard dogs that keep watch for me!! :) Suka...She is Arctic Wolf and German Shepard Missy....She is a Black Lab They really keep a good eye on things for me.. And love to watch the fish but never try and eat them!! They are super well behaved and listen well Missy loves the water but never gets in the pond!! :)

Finally finished tonight!! :) I had to improvise a little since I didn't have any Jade... So I simplified it a bit!! It is made of Bone, Pine Wood, Hemp rope, and Wire!! I tried to keep things looking as primitive as possible.. But was kind of hard to do when working with "new" material. I have some ideas to make another one to try and show some better "age"!! Here's the pics!! Sorry for the bad lighting...try to take better pics when sun is shining!! Thanks for looking... Till next time!! [ Edited by: Meheadhunter 2010-06-22 22:42 ]

Hey, you can make a passable jade replica with Sculpty clay - has some of the transluscent quality of real jade, pretty strong, and easy to work with. I can give you details if you want or ask the internet for "polymer faux jade".
