This old timer needs help
The Story is that He came from Hawaii in the early 70's. Was kept indoors for about 20 years, then placed on an outdoor patio in Florida.
But kept out of the Rain and the elements. He use to have a complete base that both him and the reservoir bowl sat on. The receiving bowl
Was cracked in half and un repairable. As well as the base that had rotted in nothing. I would like to try and rescue this one if possible.
He appears to be make of cedar but it doesn't have the smell of cedar. He looks as though be might be a brother to the on in the Book of Tiki
That I show in the picture. He was fitted to be a fountain/spitter and his tongue is still intact. Suggestions on reviving this one.
Should I amputate the lower body and replace w/ similar. Also does any experts think the time frame is possible. I saw the post by Keigs
that B. Kahuna bumped up, and his were also very similar. Witco? I don't know. Input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
