Aloha Folks!

Now that the proverbial "cat's outta da bag" that I have one of the vintage Tiki's from the BH Luau, I was wondering if anyone could tell me who made it and share any vintage pictures of it in situ. I have been searching for years ever since the gardeners sold it to me, but have come up empty over and over again.

Here's a quicky shot of it, by the way, waiting patiently in my garage to complete it's restoration...

I had to do a TON of sanding to get down to decent wood that wasn't either black with mold or rot. And it wasn't easy since it's a really hard, dense, HEAVY wood like Eucalyptus or something. The base has rotted crooked so I can't stand it up to work on it. I'm eventually going to have to cut it even, but I'm so hesitant to do so because I don't want to violate this piece of history.

Mahaloz in advance for your help, folks!
