Thank you Mike for the compliment, I appreciate it!
Sven, maybe someday you'll be able to give me a complete tour of Tiki Island above the Silver Lake. I would be thrilled.
Happy Holidays!

C'mon by anytime - providing I am not on the other side of the globe making the mortgage money. Winter is safe, the weather over there being too bad for shooting...unlike here, as my current front yard view shows:

Hi Sven do you still have three trampolines in your front yard? We would love to visit with WestADad someday.
Here are the lamps that will be hung soon in our home. It will give you all ideas on how you too may customize a lamp. The multicolored one is just Moais no God of light. Roge will do them any way you like.
Merry Christmas, Wendy

hang10tiki, MadDogMike, ebtiki, thank you all from Roge. He is a master lamp maker. Every detail is done beautifully. When I have ours hung in the house I'll post photos.
Roge is working on new designs that I'll post here as they come up. Cheers, Wendy

Hi Kahaka, I used your link and looked at all of your terrific lamps. You are so close to us (2.5 hrs.) if you are still in San Jose. If you are ever coming to the Sacramento area come for a visit.
I'll let Roge know you like his lamps. Wendy

Cool Kahaka, we love tiki visitors we have one tonight from Pasadena.
Roge has shared his brochure from his lamp company from 1962. These specific lamps are not for sale, check Etsy for what is. He keeps coming up with new designs and I will be doing some more tiki related sculpts for him. Cheers, Wendy

Wendy, serendipity is a terrific thing! When we saw your post on Sven’s beautiful Red Tiki Lamp that was a Christmas present from WestADad, we clicked over to Roge Bodine’s Etsy site. Pat, my wife, then decided that I would get a Blue & Green Tiki Lamp as a birthday present, so an order was placed.
In correspondence, Roge shared his Laguna Lamps story and brochure, the one you just posted. When I looked through the brochure, I realized that I had just seen at least one of his lamps in the Hawaiian Inn at Daytona Beach (see Tiki Modern, pages 260 & 261). So I sent Roge this photo I had taken on December 17 from inside the Polynesian show area. He confirmed it was a Laguna Lamps Model R-102...
When Pat and I returned to Ohana Luau in the Hawaiian Inn for this past weekend’s New Year’s Eve party, I made a mental note to get a few more photos, presented below. Three of those lamps have been hanging inside the Polynesian show area for almost 50 years. It’s possible that there are a few more that I didn’t notice, as we were pretty busy socializing, drinking, eating and watching the show.
As you enter through this door, the first lamp presents itself in multi-color splendor (you can see it through the door glass)...
There are two more in the show area...
Mahalo, Wendy, for this thread... as a result, I’m receiving a beautiful Tiki lamp for my birthday next week, and we discovered yet another retro modern aspect of this historic Poly Pop “port of call.”
-Tom

Happy Day TTD - nice score for your place, I'm counting pennies for one of those crystal matrix tiki lamps. Gonna change the weather if I can find an Altrusian pylon. Very cool that they are still in use in your neck of the woods.
