Lower left is half a Bumatay carved south of Seattle next to it are two 7 1/2 and one 8 1/2 foot tall tikis and in the upper right corner is a 21 foot tiki. The last 3 were carved by Art McKellips in Tacoma WA around 1966 for the Tongaroa (later Tiki) Apartments. Oh and that's Jim Kruize (Gone Tiki) who helped me get them to my place and has helped me resurrect them. Here's where a few went... I almost forgot I collected this also! That had been on Seattles Polynesia Restaurant on pier 51. [ Edited by tikicoma on 2022-03-18 23:05:44 ]
