Hey thanks Grog... and yeah I tried to go fairly deep on this guy. I wanted him to be "good"...

Essentially the dude I made it for is a good friend who lives a little over an hour away and has put me up at his place during several large tiki jobs (and continues to do so). I drive a big-ass lifted crew cab Tundra that gets like ten gallons to the mile, so he's saved me a bunch of money not having to commute during those jobs,...plus he's a respected local artist and he puts me over a lot & talks to people about my tikis, so I kinda figured I owed him something nice. Yesterday was his birthday, and I woke up and decided it was time to settle accounts...lol...

I had previously (a few weeks ago) given him a total garbage $50 tiki I made for a plant sale because it essentially sucked and I figured he could salvage it by painting it or something, and he was all happy about it and was like "no man, I wanna keep in natural like you made it" and I just felt like a tool....so I made him a nice one... he's WAY stoked on this one for sure though....(he better be damn it...I worked on it most of the day!!! lol)....
