Hey Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome!

Finding BK right around the corner was like a thunderbolt out of the blue. When my wife and I found ourselves under the deep hypnotic spell of his potent mixocology a few days later amongst the sinister carvings I thought it was too good to be true. And when Andy Williams' "House of Bamboo" emerged from his speakers, the first time I'd heard the song in nearly 30 years since I'd lost the 45 rpm vinyl... then I knew it was destiny. Besides that, me missus and I have enjoyed the pastoral crowing of his rooster for some months now!

No danger of a collecting competition. The warm tiki tide lifts all boats equally, and besides I'm equally charmed by the repo mugs from Tiki Farm, happy to leave the cool vintage originals to those most deserving. The carvings, now... that is a different story! BK stopped by this evening with a pair of unbelievable poles, hot oceanic mojo that swept us immediately away with the hot smell of bamboo and rotting vegetation, a dark river of island mystery poured forth from his foundry of chisel and flame.

Mmmmmm.... someone fetch me a Zombie.
