My Rattan Set Score! - Collecting Tiki

I found it in the thrift in pretty sad shape (sorry I lost the "before" pics). The rattan looked pretty much like the bands in Poly-Pop's chairs at eht beginning of this thread and the top was completely shot. Looked like it had been on the back patio for years. I took the top off and measured it, then it promptly fell apart. I got some new mahogany boards and my woodworking neighbor helped me glue them up and cut a new top. Mahogany makes the table. It's deep red richness with the gold warmpth of the rattan are a winning combination I scrubbed the base really well and doused it real well with the good 'ol boiled linseed oil. Once that dried I gave it and the top a good coat of polyurathane and put them back together. Voila! Aloha, :tiki: [ Edited by: Tiki Royale 2007-05-10 00:24 ]
