You can get all (more!) than you asked for by doing a Search. Hit "Search" in the upper right hand corner here, enter Witco and the world is your (carved, wooden with burned grooves) oyster! Or you could hang on for another one or two weeks/months/years for Sven Kirsten's forthcoming book on the subject :wink: He does have a nice section on it in his "The Book of Tiki." Or you can be like some unscrupulous eBay sellers and call anything made of wood, "Witco," as in, "It's not signed, but many friends of mine who are experts assure me it's Witco." Sven, I'm waiting for my check for PR.... F
