Wow! You people are really the BEST!! Thank you sooo much for your kind words. All of you mean a great deal to me - Ohana!

I believe that this, on again, off again love affair I have been showing on this thread over the last 2 years for this particular PNG drum design has paid off...I am quite happy with the final result. And the launch of this mug at Oasis 2010 went very well. I sold out of the first 10 Mauna Loa Drum mugs I had made with blazing speed...I had to start up a list for the remaining few that I plan to do. There are a few spots left...I will post this list in Market place soon, as I want my TC Ohana to have the first opportunity at it.

Thank you to JonPaul for giving me some better images of the drum to work with, and I also must mention Big Bro here as well...for it was in the "Book of Tiki" that this love affair of mine with this drum first surfaced. Also, I can't forget the old Mauna Loa Bar that was in Detroit...I've come to covet that place.

The 20 Cobras Fang Mugs I Had at Oasis also sold out...I will only be doing a few more of these...

It's time to move on to other projects...I always have way more in the way of ideas for new stuff than I do time to do them.

Thanks for stopping in!

PS - I made enough for a much needed new camera :) just waiting for it to get here...
