Discuss: Does Witco go right over people's heads? - General Tiki

I read your book, I looked through the Witco threads here on Tiki Central, and I concluded I just don't like the stuff. Some of the wall hangings are very nice and covetable - the world globe being the foremost example - but the furniture and carved items look to me like wood shop projects my schoolmates and I were making in the 7th Grade. It just seems so brutish - I guess I prefer my tiki with more charm. That being said, I certainly don't disparage those who find Witco to their liking. In fact, it gives me a little window into the minds of those people who walk into my office and tell me all my tiki mugs look exactly the same.
