And a four foot tiki of that complexity shouldn't take hundreds of hours. I'm not sure OA has had many tikis come through their shop that took hundreds of hours. http://www.tikimaster.com/product/BLA6018120/Tiki-Akua-Kai-48---Ocean-Tiki---Bishop-Museum.html Here's something that's close to that carving. It's less than 1/5 of what you're asking, from a known, reputable seller. Also, people get bent out of shape around these parts when someone comes in, without a wealth of knowledge, and only wants to sell. There was a discussion about it recently. Some people don't care. Anyway, I like some of them. Hope this post has been helpful.
