The bahooka was on my way home from elementary school, most days I would stop and talk to the employees as they prepare that nights meals,and get handouts (me & the local alley cat). They would let me roam the restaurant and explore the wonderful Tikis and decor that could only been reviled by a 1950s Hollywood set designer. Sad to say I have strayed from the Tiki culture over the years, the discovery of TC has been great and helpful with all the expert advise( and great Tiki work). I have carved stone and making my first attempts at working with palm trees. I'm looking forward to talking with all of you and will post pic of my work. My wife and I plan on attending most of the upcoming events in the SW, hope to see you all there, Lets Talk Tiki!! Thank you, from an honored and loyal new member, Bahooka Bob P.S. When do I get my fuzzy hat like Fred Flintstone and Barney Ruble, but tikis in place of horns Tiki Tiki
