Aloha from Central California (Elk Grove) I'm a brand new member as of today. I am currently restoring an awesome Tiki bar I found online. I need help naming and FINDING supplies for my restoration. What is the ribbon called that binds the bamboo pieces together? (Raffia?) SEE PHOTO. I need to find a spool or 2 to complete my project. Does anyone have leads on where I can find it? (Mahalo) I have attached some photos of my project. It's going to be COOL when finished. The bar has been "OPEN" during the restoration project. ALOHA to ALL. ~ KEOKI ~
