There will be more but here is a little teaser of some Koa Wood pendants Ive been carving . Each is hand carved individually for your wearing pleasure . Ive even done some Abalone inlay to some . The first four with the Abalone are similar designs from the Bishop Museum in Oahu. The next 3 reflect the Tropics grounds tiki's. First is the pool tiki . Then the Lawn tiki in the rear of the grounds . Then the infamous parking lot tiki that we have all posed with . I wish I had better sunlight when taking these pics but I live close to the mountains and the weather is always changing here . My point is that these REALLY pop in the the bright sunlight because of the high end wood Im using .I know when I display them at Tiki Caliente 2 there will be more than enough sunlight . I hope you like them , Ray
