Greetings all!
I've been having all these tiki related ideas swarming through my head the last few days. The day before yesterday, I got an idea and finally ran with it today.
I know I always complain about those indonesian carvers working for pennies a day, producing quality carvings and stealing the livelyhoods of we, the american carvers and makers of tiki related objects; however, like Crazy AL said about his curious OA tiki, he wouldn't carve a small $40 tiki. Well, there's no way I'm going to try to compete with them by making a smaller tiki that retails for $14 either. I'm totally against buying my foreign competitors products, so after work #1 today, I worked for someone else in exchange for a bounty of imported items. I traded my spoiled lazy indolent American work hours for the products of the underpaid slave wage carvers of Indonesia. I came out better than they did because my country is richer than theirs and we get rich of the exploitation of their peoples. Here is the stuff I received for my valuable American time:

Today was already profitable, in that I worked and got all this loot. I felt really greedy and wanted to make more money to feed my American consumptive ways. I added value to the pre carved statues by enhancing them with a wood burner and adding a coat of clear shellac, thus increasing my profit margin slightly.

Feeling the need to purchase more wasteful products that advertisers convince me I need, it is necessary to increase the profit margin even higher. A little bamboo goes a long way in the marketing and sale of tropical products

Hey look, it's my first tiki bar sign:

I'd like to thank those Indo boys for making this happen

Now how to double, or even triple your profits:
Make another one, similar, but different and better. Hopefully, the same guy will buy both both and not haggle you down

It's my second sign from my favorite angle:

Look-Tikis, bamboo, rope-how many more tiki essentials do you need? Fancy stuff makes it cost more. I need more money to pay taxes to help the schools and fix our roads. Nice details and cheap, overseas products and labor helps the economy. Buying tiki stuff is good for the country. Call a tiki producer today! Or are you a traitor?

My product line is HUGE now...(Hewey-that means I have a lot of stuff that I make-not the other...)

Recession Proof Buzzy Out!
