"luahala/bac-bac, rope, ric rac and the like."

Well, that is Franks cane and rush.

But Tapa that's going to be the hard one, sure you can always buy it via eBay but damn that's going to cost you. Going to be harder to find that small tapa pattern that is best for making lights.

But think about people like Bamboo Ben or say movie or TV people they will not have that one stop shop that they really need with OA gone. That could drive build costs up as well and even reduce tiki themes in shows maybe.

Shipping costs have just gone nuts, what do you think 4'' bamboo poles 8 feet long cost to ship?

Don't know what BB Ben has in mind for the rest of his life but he could step in and be a supplier/seller of bamboo and the like while supplying the stuff he needs as well. That way he could load a can and ship it and defray the costs over builds and sales as well.

But then Bens knees are going to tell him when he is done with the builds. Thats hard work I tell ya.
