My husband & I were driving through Edmonds, WA this past weekend, and stopped at an antique mall. We found this carved cedar tiki, about 6' tall, & had to get it .Hoping it was a Witco, I emailed keigs20 a photo, for his knowledgeable opinion. Woohoo ! It is a Witco, the first style of totem that Witco made, called Big Joe. There are 2 holes drilled in the middle. Aside from that & a few scratches, its in pretty good shape. Here's a photo of Big Joe, and also a photo from Witco's catalog that Keigs20 has kindly provided. Thanks for all the great information, Ken. Its much appreciated !
