Hi all! I've loved browsing Tiki Central for about a year now and I've finally decided to post. I'm up at Lake Tahoe and there's really NOT a lot of tiki around here, so that makes for lots of road trips. But every now and then I'll find a surprise at a yard sale or flea market. Met some folks yesterday that found what I believe to be a witco "copy" or witco-like tiki bar hanging out by a dumpster...DAMN, wrong place, wrong time. BUT, they stripped it and splashed a pink whitewash all over it and put about 20 coats of polyurethane on the top! YUCK! I tried to get them to give it up or sell it (without luck) to restore it back to original condition...the man's in love with it , the wife hates it, won't let it in the house, but can deal with it in the garage if it stays pink! Any other tikiphiles in this area? I hope to meet some of you at the NW tiki crawl. This'll be my first tiki crawl so I'm thrilled. Cheers to you and this wonderful forum! K
