Tiki Skip. Looking at the "fraud screen" closely, it looks like "River Bamboo" to me. Looks close to rattan but doesn't have the long strings like rattan. Smoother surface. Safari Thatch in Ft. Lauderdale, near the Mai Kai, sells it. Comes approx 1.5"-2" thick and has that slight /curvebend to it. It's used a lot on furniture. Almost solid throughout. This screen might have even been made within the last 20 years. Bamboo Ben [ Edited by: RevBambooBen 2016-09-14 09:54 ] |
