A friend found this in Wichita. Story he got is it’s been sitting on the owners patio since the 60s. Anyone recognize what carver may have done this or know if it came out of a particular bar or restaurant in that area? Doesn’t seem like Wichita had a heavy tiki presence.

That’s a good looking tiki Mike. Congrats on a nice find. At first glance the eye’s remind me of Leroy Schmalz (Oceanic Arts) work but the rest of the tiki is not Leroy’s style imho. How tall is that dude? Nice score! I’m confident that the knowledgeable folks here will be chiming in soon with some answers
