Yes, you can get splinters from Bamboo!

A great couple days pulling the bar together with LOTS of progress!!

First up - routing the designs on the boards....MORE burning.....then scraping, then applying a semi-gloss clear finish:

Ah, yes, later Monday night - definitely time to get a little goofy ;)

The drink rail is up, along with some tapa & matting....

Tuesday morning - time to get some bamboo split & burned at the joints so it looks a bit better.....the burning is how I discovered bamboo splinters!

& this is how Bamboo Ben gets his name:

Only about ¼ of the bamboo we'll be using.....

Then it goes up on the bottom of the walls & looks AMAZING!!!!

Then I applied a coat of Zinsser Amber Shellac to make them even prettier!!!!

STAY TUNED!

Much more to come!
