I finally got the Witco outrigger picture from the guy who has had it since 1980. This was the last piece of my parents original stuff he had. There is a drawing of this piece in Svens book of tiki. It is pretty big since it is longer than the bar it is leaning on. It will need some restoration. Glad he didn't keep the bar where he had this. The carved wood is fine. The frame has some mud on the one side and might need restained in that corner but it is not warped. . The back board will probably need replaced and new orange cloth recovering that. The out rigger that is held on by two dowl pins is sitting on the top of the frame. Just needs new pins. He didn't charge me for it. I think he felt bad at how it looks. Finding material like the original will probably be the toughest. Oh well, I am glad it is home. Scott
