Hi Everyone,
New Member here,
I'm Scott and I live in Savannah,
collect vintage Tiki items, bamboo rattan furniture, especially the Ashcraft line of Heywood Wakefield. Especially like large timber bamboo items. Anything bamboo themed ! Here is an antique chinese Bamboo cabinet I acquired years ago
!

I especially like the 2-tiered ikebana vases - made from the large bamboo culms. here is an example: _ I want to grow my own bamboo and make one !

I also collect vintage Tarzan movie posters, especially the large 4'x5' French posters, which have amazing graphics. here is an image of my favorite poster:

I bought this many years - it's a bollywood India production/ rip-off of the American tarzan movies , which stars TURKISH actors, and was released in France -with poster artwork done by French artists - - talk about global !

I just purchased a Rattan plant holder in the shape of an upright standing curved snake with a forked tongue! - about 5 feet tall - in process of restoring it !

I'm looking for a bamboo, pineapple, pagoda themed chandelier. I also collect chinese bamboo root carved sculptures. next project is to start growing moso timber bamboo and build my own tiki bar/ gazebo in the backyard !!

PS: Savannah has the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens, which is hosting the National Bamboo Association conference this year in November !

Ok, enough raving -off to sleep !! with my miniature piebald dachshunds !!

Glad to meet everyone, looking forward to chatting, love seeing photos of other people's tiki rooms, backyards,
Cheers,
scott in savannah and the dachshunds
