Every year Doug Horne creates the poster and I recreate his vision into 3D by the pendants and the Offficial Tiki.I think this is his best design yet but every year I think he tests my skills to see if I can pull it off . This single hunk of Mexican fan palm carved like oak so I could add all his little details and its shaped like the mug design . I love the way the outer dark wood contrasts the softer inner wood for the pants and the finish makes it POP! This will be on display in the lobby with a large secret tiki Im working on now .Yes this piece is for sale and will be priced accordingly to the amount of math ,carving and detail . Even the little cat at his feet which is stained "espresso" color has Abalone eyes that twinkle . Im so proud of the way this came out but it was a lot of work . I hope you enjoy it as much as I do .
