These tikis have been replaced numerous times as people continue to steal them. This first one I think is the only original tiki left. He stands approx 6 ft tall These two are replacements I'm not sure who the carver is. One of the 3 tiki's has a "JM" carved on it, possibly a local carver named John Miller but I wouldn't quote me on that one. The guy in charge at Trader Joe's the night I was there said they've replaced 3 of them, he couldn't remember who all carved which. They look pretty similar so it's probably by the same person. Maybe someone here knows? [ Edited by: stuff-o-rama on 2005-01-14 21:55 ]
