GMan my friend...I am referencing two images of a tiki that is pretty unique...and I am not positive
they are the same figure...but they are close. I found one pic of a figure at the Kon Tiki Museum...
but its not at the museum website....the other pic is on page 249 in Tiki Road Trip...the one at the
far right and the leaning one that is propped against another carving. I have a lotta lotta lotta
work to do...made some progress tonight...just trimming the head down to size. It will be about five
feet tall..not sure of weight but it hurts my back to move him around. I am not sure I have the talent
to replicate this carving...but it will at least be an interpretation. Sorry for rambling...Margaritas
this time.
