Thanks Mr. Velvet.
TC is nothing without the many people who post info as they find it.

Have run into may types that don't want to add a photo of a Kahiki item because
they are going to write a book and want to save the photo of said item for the
book.(I've met five people who "are going to do a book one day", One has come out)

Then there is the I don't want people to know what this item is so I can hopefully find
it as they pass it up.

Also the I'm just here to promote my own, Art, Event, Sale, and will add very little if
anything over the years.

All of these types do have one thing in common as they all benefit from others who do add to TC.
They benefit from people who do add to TC like...Sabu, Dustycajun, Monkeyman and Sven just to name a few.

The Kahiki had more diverse items than any other tiki bar out there at any time. IMHO
The first generation Kahiki had so many people making and adding their own tiki art to this place.
This along with the many professional types like Oceanic Arts, Courbn Morgan, Hoffman Pottery and
many more.
It is good to give credit to all who made these items and let their contribution's be known, put a face to the art work.

I had a restaurant and it was my greatest art installation I have ever done, the day after I
sold it my name was wiped form the history of that place, Hack my family helped wipe my name out.
So it's a soft spot to me.
And the whole tiki thing.

This is part of the reason I started this thread to show the many Kahiki items that where made
over the years and who made them, and to highlight the early Kahiki art types that put their
heart into the Kahiki they built.

I must admit that I was hoping to get more people adding things to this thread over the years
so all could see an odd Kahiki thing never before seen.

Add what you can when you can and pay it forward.
