Don the Beachcomber - Tiki Carving

SM Sunset Mike Tiki Socialite Sunset Beach, California Joined: Jul 08, 2009 Posts: 555	SM Sunset Mike Posted posted on Wed, Oct 3, 2018 9:20 PM The "Manzanita Brothers!. Pendants fashioned from local Manzanita wood with a tung oil finish. The toothy guy is carrying a stingray barb for a spear. Better in a Tiki than someones foot! Carved in the former parking lot of Don the Beachcomber, the spirit lives on! Phil, a long time customer of my works comissioned these from me and they turned out very well, Both of us are happy, and that is the idea. Interestingly enough the polynesian natives DID use stingray barbs as decorations and tools. By the way, I DO NOT KILL the stingrays. If I catch while them fishing I trim the spines and turn them loose like they do at the aquariums. They'll grow a new one in around 90 days.
