Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

SF Slacks Ferret Tiki Socialite Calgary Joined: Oct 02, 2003 Posts: 1395	SF Slacks Ferret Posted posted on Sun, Apr 4, 2004 9:42 PM I couldn't wait to share my find (from up here in the tiki barren province of Alberta) with the rest of you folks. I was at the antique mall and noticed a teak wood carved tiki sitting proudly on a table. I spotted him right away, as he is 30 inches tall (the biggest tiki I've seen outside of California). I tried to contain my enthusiasm and I calmly checked out the price tag. It wasn't too outrageous, and I was still able to get them to come down $20! The girl at the booth said her dad got it from Bora Bora in the late 60's. I don't have a digital camera, so I made a quick sketch of the tiki...I know, I'm kinda being lame... It may be jumping the gun to even ask this without a photo, but lemme know what you think (not of the sketch, the tiki):
