Kahaka's Tiki Lamps - Other Crafts

K KAHAKA Tiki Socialite San Jose, CA Joined: Mar 03, 2003 Posts: 875	K KAHAKA Posted posted on Tue, Nov 23, 2010 4:51 PM Made this one for my buddy Eloy who's whipping together a tiki room. Was watching Pirates of the Carribean when I thought about cutting wood to look like crab legs for the side of this lamp. I was looking through my tapa stash and was stoked to find a similiar squiggly line pattern on one of the pieces of tapa. Used a 6 sided Asian hat that Notch found out hunting. Torched it, accidentally burned holes through it, patched it with tapa and abaca matting, and stained it to look old. Now when you look up underneath it you can see some of the tapa patches. Kinda happy about the accidents.
