No rush on the project  That's a huge part of the fun anyway.
Would just love to see and cheer on the work in progress.
Hope you're having fun!

My bad....Sorry, I'm gonna change my name to "Slow-Poke".
I took yesterday off and finished the tiki post/panels yesterday. All stained and sealed. I got 8 of those bad boys done. I promise I will post the pictures by the end of the week...found the USB cord!

Here's the 1st set of 8 panel/posts for the tiki bar.
Here's the 2nd set of 8 panel/posts. I added tapa patterns to the 2nd set.

They are all stained, sealed and ready to be added, hopefully, this coming weekend.

I plan on adding these panel/posts to the exterior of the existing patio supports. Each support will have 4 panels, so it fully encloses the supports. Here's a couple of panels I leaned up against one of the supports.
I painted the back wall, it's a orangy-peanut butter color, which you can see in the background. I should have moved some of the stuff I have in the patio.
I added some potted plants, pygmy palm, banana tree and white bird of paradise. Since this picture all the plants have been transplanted into nicer bigger pots.
There's a big bale of thatch I got from Island Thatch which I will add to the exterior. All the posts are painted a dark brown, like the 1st patio support.

Here's the sign I started carving at the Carving Hut at Tiki Oasis 2008.
Stained.
Painted and sealed. I decided to add a little white paint, so the name would stand out. Then I got a little carried away with gold accents. The gold paint had to be wrestled out of my hand before I ruined the sign.
These guys helped wrestle the paint brush out of my hand.

A picture of the tiki panels are installed!
It's kind of hard to see, but I added rope trim between the panels. It's a bad picture, but the lighter color of the rope really makes the dark wood pop.

I think the sign looks good as it is, though the gold doesn't show up very well in the photo.

The posts look good. You have been working on those for a while.
Congrats on getting them done.
It's nice to see people that are local to me doing the tiki to their homes.
So when is the party/chop?
