Bob at Oceanic Arts had this to say:

Aloha Johnny:
We remember the project and doing the front entry doors, 2 restroom doors and I believe it was 7 panels in the entry which were 4'x10'. We supplied this job through an architect and once we supplied the job we never heard from Gregory Tu. We assumed the restaurant was closed but do not know when , nor did we get any of the panels back. Sabina probably saw a few carved plywood panels in our warehouse, but they were not from the Orchid 7. Yes------the tikis and much more were supplied by Oceanic Arts. If we can be of more help just let me know Johnny. Thanks for writing.
Bob

i was probably unclear in my original message, probably now that i review it, sabina had seen photos of the panels, not panels themselves. so much for thorough reporting on my part blush

addendum:

according to WaPo article in 1992, Tu got 30 years, which means (?) he could be free by 2022 - ?
