Don't think there is a thread on this yet.
I have cut up some Tapa to make lights before and thought it was a shame to do that.
So I thought it would be nice to show it here in full sheet form before I cut it and
even show the light made out of it after.

This would be a good place for books, lamps shades and other Tapa items as well.

Tapa was used in the Kahiki, Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcombers, heck almost all tiki bars really.
It was put on the walls and made into lights.
Tapa is very tiki.
It can be pricy though.

Got this book via eBay, it's not that good really.
Not many pictures, would not buy again.

2 Foot by 3 Foot sheet of Fiji Tapa.
