to Bigbro tiki! The sunburst, was probably made at Island Trade store on Beach Blvd. in the late 1960s or early seventies.. and by oldest sister, Flo Ann. She was wroking with daddy at that time, and they were exploring resins! They made tables out of abalone pieces, and other items. I don't remember the sunburst, but I do remember a whole back end of the shop filled with bamboo hanging lamps that were on their way to Alaska! I worked with Flo, when ever I could. She did most of it .. I was just her "go-fer_!
All our children LOVED going to the shop. It was a tropical paradise, with big waterfalls made out of the featherstone with the giant clam shells to hold the different falls and send the water on into a "river". All the cousins, including Bamboo Ben, particularly liked playing hide and go seek! in all the flora and fuana, and also the huts that daddy had built around the grounds. It was a show place for his wares! Later aligator! Auntie Bungy
PS: I just remembered a pix of Ben when he was about three, sitting in one of the giant clam shells!
