I have always liked the tapa outrigger in this thread and I definitely have a perfect spot for one like it but I never thought I would have one. But that all changed recently when Mrs. 8FT & I acquired this fantastic vintage version of the outrigger lamp. Now, since we have become the "unofficial repository for anything from the former Kona Kai locations here in the Kansas City area", I am hoping to one day find information which will identify this lamp as supplied by Oceanic Arts and installed as original decor at one of the 2 KK's here. Our lamp is in original condition and will not require much restoration to get it ready to install here. I need to take some measurements, make a long power cord and figure out the support hangers and such to put it up near the ceiling. It's gonna be so awesome!

Here's a couple of shots of it hanging up when we got it and a few more closer up when we got it home. More shots of it hanging up and lit here coming soon...I hope SOON!
