And there is a simple reason why I did not mention him. or the talented Benzart in the BOT. I aimed at describing the HEYDAY of Tiki, which was from the late 50s to the late 60s, and both of these guys are 70s carvers. And I can see that in their style, it just did not fit into the BOT. This is NOT a critique of their work, just my way of being precise about the aesthetic period characterized in my book.
