Very nice. This is not the same place mentioned here, right?:

No Big Bro, guess there is another Tiki carver for me to find. This is Jorge Olmos, his place is about 20 miles south of Rosarito in Puerto Nuevo on the free road to Ensenada. I have worn shirts with Tiki and gotten questioned by a few locals about them. "That is not the devil is it?" "What do the Tiki mean?" "I heard that..." Jorge tells me he has gotten some of the same about his work especially after the newspaper article came out. I love his pallapa roofs and table umbrellas that he makes and Iam getting one made next trip. Here is one he was working on when I met him. Here is a photo of the K 38 surf shop and taco stand that is nearby. Notice the sign in the window.
