Looks South/Central American to me as well. It would be helpful to know what the wood is in order to place it's rough origin.

McTiki: Yeah, I figured the type of wood would tell us a lot. We have two differing theories of its origin that seem to be the most plausable at this point. I know a couple wood guys locally that I'm going show this too. Trouble is, unless the guy knows exactly, it's just more conjecture...There is this super genius plant guy in Escondido that I know, but it's too hot out there this time of year. I'll post the second I have a credible identification of the wood type.
This is fun though. I feel like a Tiki detective...

Thanks so much to you all who have tried to help me on this and will do more work in the future for curiousity's sake
