He's unique because he's bent. I liked him beacaues he looked so happy and full of Pep. Hence his name; "Pepe" I'm contemplating whether or not to stain him, or just seal.

Input ?

McTiki, you're right, he really looks happy, nice job. I would just seal him up first and see how that looks You can always add stain later, but he has a nice 2-tone effect not that is very pleasing.

I'm with Benzart, seal him up.

Seal it! Stain would only detract from the contrasting colors.

Seal that baby up and give him a few brothers.... It'll be great to see more. Nice work!

Seal it is! Thanks all for the props! We started a pine log lastnight. This will be different as it is a little harder to cut. We also placed the main beams on our tahitian roof style bar. Pics will start coming soon. I wanted to get the hard stuff done before the temperatures soar upwards.
