I had enough left over lumber and stuff from this project in my dining room to build a Tiki bar on the patio.

We are naming it "Mahoe Lama" (Twin Torches)

First step was to turn the shed around so it no longer opened to the patio:

Next step was to cover the back of the shed with some bamboo fencing:

Next is the basic frame of the bar. All the wood the touches the ground is pressure treated(my father-in-laws cameo):

Framing is done:

With roof and trim completed and torches installed:

Bartop. This is a cherry veneer stained and shalacked:

Long shot of bar. The lazy Susan table in the foreground is also a charcoal grill when the cover is removed:

Finished Bar:

Still have some work to do on the bar top to really get it to shine. I also installed two electrical outlets behind the bar, for a blender and some lighting.

Enjoy!
