From left to right is a carving from New Zealand, Coco Joe Menehune, Bali Hai Bowl, Coco Joe Menehune and Luau Hut mug (given to me). The Bali Hai bowl is my favorite. I had one a while back that was given to me by a friend. I returned it to him when he caught the Tiki bug. I didn't think I would ever find another one especially in the wild. The best thing was that it was only $8. Seems like all the places have marked the mugs and bowls up to ridiculous prices. Lesson learned "its always worth a another look". That blue Bali Hai bowl looks like a Tepco. There was one at the antique store across from Dallas Love Field but they wanted $75 for it! It sat there for years. They recently closed the antique mall before I had a chance to look for any last minute deals. Wonder if they FINALLY marked the bowl down. Here's my camera phone pic from a couple of years ago.
