I found these three carved tikis and wanted to do something with them so I bought them (among tons of other stuff). Having a little extra time this last weekend, I started rummaging through my basement for materials. This is what I came up with: Just screwed the masks to a piece of plywood that I covered with burlap then screwed some bamboo to it. Damn that bamboo splits easily. Thought I would share.
