Tiki Bar Restoration - Collecting Tiki

We picked it up for free from some guy who just wanted to get rid of an "outdoor bar and stools". What we do know is that it's quite possibly a custom piece, it's original from the tiki heyday, it has a brass plate on it (patent #?), and it's made from the wood from old ships (SOLID and HEAVY). We don't want to risk restoring it ourselves and ruining it. Does anyone know of someone in Southern California who would have the talent to restore such a piece? Or would any furniture restoration place suffice? Any information or help is very much appreciated. Mahalo!
