I took pics of some tikis he still has at his home. He said he carved one 20 footer for the movie back in '61, (who knows where it is). I will be posting images of his work here and on my website soon. I'll also be helping him sell his work, anyone interested will be able to buy directly from him. He carves mostly old style Ku, but does some other things as well, including some very intricately designed walking sticks. I'm lucky I found him, or he found me. Anyway, I bow to this man. I am but a worm.
