Скачать или смотреть Lauhala matting for tiki bars! - A Moment of Tiki episode 52

Coming to you from my home tiki bar, the Lagoon of Mystery! Lauhala matting, made in the Philippines by weaving together leaves of the native hala plant, is probably the single most popular wall covering for tiki spaces--either home tiki rooms or expansive commercial bars. I've never worked with lauhala before. Looking for a new aesthetic for my ongoing upstairs tiki build, I decided to try my hand at wrangling lauhala despite its reputation as a building material that wasn't entirely cooperative. Turns out, that reputation is not undeserved. Join me as I wrestle with how to cut lauhala square, attach it to drywall and anchor it with custom trim pieces so that it doesn't fall down. And also how to treat it so that the dry plant fibers don't become a critical fire hazard in your home!

Along the way, I might also power carve, torch, wire brush, stain and seal more than 50 feet (15 meters) worth of custom wood trim sporting a nifty Polynesian spiral design. If my baseboard technique way back in episode 8 wasn't enough for you, you're not going to want to miss this one.

Acoustics in the interior space are kind of terrible, so apologies for that in advance.
