I was wondering if you had the hair worked out? A lot of Tikis with hair seem to turn out looking like a doll and a little pluggie. I have a nice carving, but the hair is lacking. The carver used horse hair and had the holes spaced far apart. I wanted to restore some dignity to this Tiki and fix the hair. What to do?? I noticed the local Savers store would put out alot of wigs during the Halloween season and started to check out their stash. After going through the pile, I noticed some real wigs for cheap! Wigs that must have cost hundreds were only a few dollars. You might ask the sales help if they have wigs in the back if you don't find any. From this... To this.... You know what they say...another persons loss...is another Tikis Hair :lol: Aloha, Freddie :tiki:
