UT uncle trav Tiki Socialite Kalamazoo Joined: Apr 27, 2005 Posts: 2466	UT uncle trav Posted posted on Mon, Apr 8, 2013 1:38 PM What started as an experiment born of pure unadulterated boredom has grown into something else. These are the finished huts I have built since 2009. Hand made and not to any scale or certain style. These small huts are made by hand of paper, wood and real bamboo. The techniques used to build the huts are all my own and thought up as I go. The huts take many many hours to build but I have enjoyed every one of them. Thanks for taking a look and I hope you enjoy my version of Small Paradise. For a more detailed look at my huts and how they are made including my latest projects please visit my thread and thanks again. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33960&forum=18&243 Hut number #1 , 2009. This was the one that got me hooked. Hut number 2 , 2011 Hut #3 , 2011 Hut #4 , 2011 Hut #5 , 2012. The Mai Kai Restaurant. My largest build to date.

I don't have any new updates. The Trader's Hut is finished and again other things have taken my attention in another direction. Inspiration for a new build may come in the deep dark days of midwinter when the days are short here in Michigan but I do have an idea or two on the back burner. Thanks again.

My latest project was aging a miniature diving helmet to an old patina and turning it not a pendant light for the bar.
