I'm the proud owner of Bongo the Tiki. That's what we've called the wonderful masterpiece that Marcus Thorn created which has a wonderfully welcoming face and the most incredible bongos. When my husband wanted to buy me a tiki for my birthday, I was concerned 'cause I didn't want one that seemed too menacing. I wanted it in our front foyer to welcome guests to our home. We discussed this with Marcus and he was happy to oblige, even though it wasn't strictly traditional. The end product is now the centrepiece of our home. Bongo the Tiki is convincing as a bongo player and the photos that Marcus has posted to date don't do him justice. Bongo the Tiki lives and breathes. He's incredible. He smiles, he's cheeky and he plays the bongos and his hands and feet seem to have movement - what more could a girl want. The workmanship that has gone into him is great. Marcus has done a fantastic job. To answer a question posted on the forum - Bongo the Tiki stands quite well even though it appears that his feet don't touch the ground - an outcome achieved by Marcus brilliance. Sensational addition to our family. Thank you Marcus
