laney, no I had never heard of him and I had a thorough look thru the site. The work was impressive for sure, but I have never been one to be impressed by brand names. On the contrary, I developed, designed and marketed stylish figurado cigars during the 90's cigar boom in Las Vegas (and on the net) that I sold for 1/4 the price that other big names did. But I certainly appreciate the original style and strong Rat Pack Era influnce of the work. I think my main and initial point was I see alot of rattan and even bamboo 'Tiki' furnishings going for stupid prices on Ebay and elsewhere at times. One could pay for a vacation to the place of manufacturing and have it custom made for what they get for some of these things, and still have change left over! =-O

I wonder what I could get for hand carved teak tiki bar and rattan stools with faux leopard skin covers? hmmmm
