2 months ago I got a message from www.Fatal Impact Streetwear in Bakersfield . Its was on myspace and he told me he was HUGE friends with Zach Zachary and Zach had done many carvings for him at his home and store . He said he MUST have one of my tikis as well. He picked out a design and also requested certain dimensions plus an offer to sell my tikis at his store . I didnt have quite the right piece so I actually went down and bought a log for the project for $50.00. It would be a $500.00 tiki when finished .He also needed it in a hurry . I told him it could be done and I pushed other work to the side for him .
After 25 hours of carving, the piece came out great with my usual 2 coat finish . I called him several times and messaged him that it was done but no answer . I finally talked to him today and he told me he couldnt pay for it and his business was falling apart (I wonder why ? ). He said "sorry Bro, but family first ". Yeah, I have a family too and he contacted me .Dont sell to this guy until you see the cash . I guess thats why Jesse James tattooed "Pay Up Sucka" in the palm of his hand .
