Having now spent a good few hours admiring, fondling and generally drooling over this carving in the real world, I've got to say that photos on a computer screen don't come close to doing this piece justice. It really has a personality and presence that belie its small stature.

*Dont worry BenZ; I eventually managed to wipe the drool and sticky fingerprints off once he'd gone! :lol: -I have been meaning to ask; what would you advise to best take care of him? (the MMMoai, not Paip!) He is kept out of direct sunlight & at a child-proof hight but I love him too much to keep him encased behind glass, etc. Should I oil or wax? How often & what is the best product you would recommend? -He is much admired; even 'non-tiki' folk seem to be mesmerised and realise there is something special about him.

Sorry to hear of the Tiki-less Tiki Bars/boats/restaurants! Whats that about? Surely they once contained Tiki..?
