Hey Lee! What's the story on those 3 framed wood masks that look kinda witco ish in the 1st pic? I bought 2 of those from a yard sale here a while back, look like the same artist.
I just looked at the back and they read
Mike Mcvay Dallas, Oregon. Anybody know anything about this guy?

Von T. , there's two possibilities: Either they are Witco, and Mike McVay was a store, or they are done by a Witco copyist of that name, of which there were quite a few (Gale Haner, Frank Hart, Gordon, The Woodcarver), especially up in the Northwest. If you post some pictures of your two masks in the Witco Finds thread, I (or Ken) will be able to tell you. Either/or, they're cool.

Lee, getting the job done right! As Ben always sez, NO WHITE WALLS. The best way to convey Tiki is to create a haven from the ground up, with all the layers, and the non-believers will be in awe.
