Did this ever sell?
Polynesiac , that is a very sweet carving. I also like the rope.

The last I heard (some time ago), Ron "Bongofury" had worked a deal with Maureen and was going to pick up the tiki that weekend. I'm assuming all went well, and Tiki "X" now resides with a prominent member of the TC Ohana. Great ending to this story. I understand that Ron owns several vintage O.A. tikis, including a 6'-0", 7'-6", and a whopping 12'-8". Here's an interesting post on Ron's O.A. tikis.

And another.

And on the infamous "Rincon Room".

Sadly, it looks like the "Rincon Room" will be closing soon. I wish Ron the best and look forward to hearing of a new Rincon Room (or further incarnation) soon.

It's fascinating how some of these posts start and where they finally end up.

I'm hoping to do my own carving of Tiki 'X' sometime in the near future.

Cheers!
