I thought it would be cool if i could set a tiki torch inside of the mouth so it looked like it was breathing fire... Well, I learned that putting a couple of 2x4's in the bottom of the mold for the space is not a good idea if you want to get them out. You can see that it cracked in two. I figured that if the tiki was going to have fire, he should be the tiki god Kane, instead, all I've been calling him is bastard. I did get him back together, thankfully, but I still have a bit of work finishing him up where you can't see the crack. (thats my assistant to the left, checking the placement of Kane) But his mouth does look like it breaths fire, so I'm happy with it. The pic doesn't look as good as it does in person, as anyone who has tried to take pictures of fire before can tell you.
