Finally.....

Finally found a way to get another personal project off the ground....

For a few years now my dad's had these beautiful antiques he's got stored up nice and snug in his storage room. My aunt (my father's sister) owns a business up in Hong Kong basically where they travel to these obscenely remote areas of China to find these things, bring them back to Hong Kong, and then restore them into showroom condition.

They basically look better then they probably did when they were first made....

Anyway, my dad had it in him to try to sell these things here in Hawaii....but he just never got around to it. Now they've basically been sitting around taking up space in storage for a few years now. Such a waste!! They're pretty awesome in my opinion. The method's my aunt uses to restore these things are actually quite superior to most of your normal everyday run-of-the-mill restoration sweat shop. If you see these things up close you can tell a lot of personal care was put into them.

Most, if not all, of these things are over a 100 years old. One or two generations back some Chinese family was using one of these things to carry their toddler around or lugging water back home for miles. It's quite fascinating.

ANYWAY, basically I'm on a mission to get my parent's some space back in their home so they can consider remodeling their home. Check it out! I'm going to ask some local antique or interior design shops if they might want to buy these things at wholesale prices or maybe even get them on Ebay.
