ALoha friends,
This is a original black velvet from da romantic Tahitian Lanai.

I'm da new proud owner of this piece. I wen get em from a buddies antique shop dat TikiBong wen get his Koa furniture from. I forget da name of his shop...it's such a easy name too!!! ova by da Zoo...anyways

He wanted $300 fo it but, lucky me I too always carry a tiki in da car incase someone like barter. So, I tradded one of my tiki's for dis Nani Li'i "little beauty"

It's not a Leeteg cuz if it was she would be worth more than $300....mo like $1500 and he would neva wen traded em. It is a Bill Erwin. Erwin had his art displayed in da Tahitian Lanai along with Leeteg.

I'm going to make a bamboo frame for it and carve "Tahitian Lanai" on da bottom of da frame. I'll post pics wen I'm done.

enjoy

Honolulu
is how it's signed

this is the beautiful lagoon that you could walk out to from da Tahitian Lanai. I just wanted to snap some shots of my carving by this beautiful lagoon.

I'll post disturbing pics of what's left over of the Tahitian Lanai when I get a chance.

Aloha
