Not that any of these apply to anything I am currently doing but figured it might be good to know in the future as I head into building a home bar. First of (and I think this is where most of my questions stem from) is Tapa more of a product or a cultural artifact? IE should it be preserved or used? For instance, can/should you cut it to make a lamp or to fit it into an area or would that be a big no no? Or are there even 2 different kinds, one more cultural and one more intended for cutting an using? Not trying to ruffle any feathers just curious. Thanks.
