More help from Tiki 65 Saturday. We had to rehang the thatch over the bar. The support hook was not to our satisfaction and a few other tweaks. That was done. The big job was the bar top install.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe chose to cover the bar in hardwood flooring. 6′ X 7.5″ pieces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWith each end of the bar angled to match the wall and the support beam, it required a lot of custom cuts. We glued them down, and ran screws up from underneath to hold it in place to the 3\/4 plywood.<\/p>\n

Once the front row was installed, being very sure of the fit, it made the rest fit in lpace fairly easily.<\/p>\n

11 foot bar, that’s near 3 feet deep, meant a lot of looking at flooring. We found what we wanted, and it turned out that one box would cover the whole bar. That was a very lucky break on this special order. We could not have bought another piece. Sahara is the color<\/a> and it is very close to the look of the bar and tables at the Mai Kai. Ours has square pegs in it. It is hand scraped and faux aged bamboo. We tested a scrap piece by leaving a glass of ice water sitting on it for 24 hours. No change. No water penetrated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also reworked the foot rest. Picked to good straight pieces of 5 inch bamboo and cut them to match. We’ll do a little decoraing on them and screw them in when we do the bar front later.<\/p>\n

The bar moulding is cut and ready to go. Maybe stain it today. Looking to start the back bar now and tile it and install the sink, etc.
