Fatuhiva,
Wayne Coombs is a brilliant artist. And, his traditional tiki work is awesome...if you haven't seen it, you should. So why do we Florida bums carve non-traditional tikis? For me, it's all about the $$$ market. I doubt I could make a mortgage payment, two car payments and feed three kids if I was only carving/selling to tiki affectionados.
