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

I'm guessing he's around 8' tall. Sadly, I don't get to keep him. A buddy scored him and promptly named him Ted. I haven't been able to convince him to pass Ted along to me... yet... but told him I'd search for some info.

Look at the work by Milan Guanko. Haven't seen this one before, but maybe.

Guanko was my first instinct but figured others may know better.

I'm amazed at how well it's held up for having spent 50 years outdoors.
