I have been kicking around changing my bar and game room into a Tiki lounge. After finding your web site and lurking around for a month or so, I decided to get going on the room. Everything started out ok enough. I fought my way through a gaint roll of mattng to cover the walls above the chair rail on two walls. Tiki-fied the bar re-covered the bar stools, figured out how to split bamboo, etc. Then I found a roll of leopard print material....hmmm... I wonder how that would look on the short wall behind the TV? Called my husband to help me move out the TV and a couple of other assorted stand up game machines. |

Oh tiki newbie! Now... sit here upon my, uh...knee. Tiki is a strange and powerful soothesayer. At one point, it seems Ku's leading you down the wrong path; but if you just hang loose (brah), you find that it's the right path. Now, wipe off, freshen up, and let's go!!! |

Hey exotica59- Where did you get the roll of the woven matting? (My tiki lounge/dining room will happen slowly, after I move in, but it will happen.) Those lucky bastards in SoCal can pop out to Oceanic Arts any ol' time, but I assume I'll have to mail order as I'm guessing you did. Or did you? Does Chicago have a source? Anybody else's help would be appreciated here, too. |

I got my matting from a lady off of eBay that was very helpful.Although a quick check didn't show that she currently is offering matting--she advertised her email for anyone to contact her should they need certain size rolls. I have her email if you would like it. I got my bamboo poles off of eBay also, ebay id bambooimporter. This person runs lots of auctions for all differant sizes. |
