Thanks for the pix, Al!

This answers a few of my questions. The pic of Leroy with the chainsaw in the BOT definitely showed the finished product - it wasn't stained later. And the tiki definitely weathered some, so we can also surmise that no varnish was applied either.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So what became of this tiki icon after the Costa Mesa "Tiki Bar" took the big dive?

Did he wind up abandoned in some Costa Mesa alley, having witnessed far too many drunken fistfights from his perch above the bar, jaded by the smell of urine and vomit and the sight of countless late night parking lot fornications?

Or was he taken in by some kindly tiki collector, rehabilitated and restored to his original majestic tiki splendor?

The quest for the answers continues....
