And my belief is that fully restored it would be more visually appealing to the majority of folks. However, there will always be those who believe it is better to leave it "natural". If it is experiencing termite damage, it will only get worse unless it is properly restored AND relocated to a more climate controlled environment. What value will there be in a pile of sawdust that used to be a great tiki ?? If it were mine, I'd stop the bug assault, get it inside and put a new tiki in the backyard where the classic one once stood.
