Check out this ancient thread. I thought door handles were a brilliant idea for these things. Before this thread I always saw these at thrift stores, now that I could use them for something, I don't even run across them anymore. What ever happened to Erich Troudt anyway?

I'm still here. Thanks for remembering me. I lurk around the board, read the topics that look interesting. Haven't really done anything new with the tiki hut or bought anything cool lately. here is a link to the door handles pic.

As far as the connection between Tiki and giant untensils, I have no idea. I have seen those giant Forks and Spoons in all shapes, sizes, and styles for years. I heard people just hung them in the kitchen in the 70's. Why? People did alot of wierd stuff in the seventies, afros, disco, platforms, etc. Giant forks don't seem so wierd compared to bell bottoms.
Anyway, I have seen so many of these tikis forks and spoons. I have seen about three different styles of tikis, and one with African style people on them.
