In rural Louisiana, tiki is rare in any form...even the cheesy plastic bargin store stuff is hard to find. I'm slowly building a collection of 'real' carvings and mugs (and trying my hand at carving), but it's also fun to rework the cheap stuff into something useable. Here are my first two attempts:
