I had the pleasure of meeting R.L. and his wife Mary in Oceana at his carving yard. He also sells his stuff at Plumerias in Pismo. He has since moved his yard. In addition to carving amazing tikis he also carves amazing bears. His bears are at Disneyland in Bear Country and the Bear Country Jamboree. If I'm not mistaken he has done some tikis for Disney as well. He does the Quartsite show annually and his carvings are showcased in many books including the art of the chainsaw.
