Hey guys, been kinda "blocked" for awhile & trying to get re-motivated. But I did make this little tiki for the owner of a little local-owned pizza restaurant called "The Deck" here in Tampa. I get their pizzas delivered to the house occasionally and a few weeks ago when I called up over there to order a pizza, the dude who answered the phone, after he entered my address into the system asks "is this the tiki guy?....the owner wants to talk to you..." So basically the dude gets on the phone & says "hey man, I'm the owner and I'm bringing your pizza".

So he came out & looked at my stuff, and basically commissioned a piece for his house. Says he may be buying one for the business as well. He likes tikis. He wanted one to put a piece of glass on to make a table, and he wanted it to kinda look like he was holding up the table. So his arms are extending up & I tried to give him a "strained" look. And he's missing a tooth.

And here's another cedar mask:
