TIKISKIP: Rehabing Kahiki Tiki Bar Restaurant lights - Other Crafts

I would guess that when these were made it was right after the rattan was harvested and this would make the rattan bend much better being as fresh and green as that would be. I say this because it's hard to get the rattan you buy now to do what it does here. But if you baby it you can get it to work. Just think though they did not have time to baby this stuff as they most likely made many of these baskets a day and were paid by the items they made not per hour.
