Cool link, docwoods ( http://www.nauticaltropical.com/ )
but...E-GAWDS!...It's on the "Parrot Head" web ring... :)

Here's another site with much the same stuff:
http://www.nauticalseasons.com/

and down in the OC is this place:
http://www.bensonsimport.com/

and here in wonderful San Pedro (just up the coast from you) is Tally-Ho Marine surplus. My friend Allen supplies nautical "junk" to hollywood (think Hook, Hidalgo, etc.) and is always chock full of blocks and tackles, line, fishing net, cork floats and great converstaion. Not all of his stuff is cheap, but then again, not all of the stuff he has will fit into your house either! Last time I was there he had a full size harbor bouy!
He's on the corner of 22nd and S Mesa st right by the 22nd st. landing (a great restaurant). PM me if you want his # (I have it here somewhere...) but he's probably in the phone book too. Good luck in your quest- and have fun decorating that ceiling!

btw...that nautical swap meet sounds AWESOME! When is it?
also - be sure to do a search for TCer's home bars and check out how they did their ceilings! Tons of cool stuff here!!!
