Aloha all...please help! Instead of replacing costly cabinetry in our Airstream, I'm thinking of simply embellishing the facades with flat carvings...can someone direct me to a site/artist? These tikis need to be fairly lightweight and only 10-ish inches tall; I need at least 4, but would love 8 in different varieties depending on the dinero. Is this too much to ask?? :) Mahalo!!

If you can find some cheap ones that are mass-produced but a little too heavy and you have access to a router, you could always 'rout-out' the back side of the carving. Think of the concept how some people pull some of the bun out so that their hot dog sinks in a little (stop thinking bad thoughts-folks). Does this make any sense?

Hey Ben...great pics! What I'm looking for is actually in photo #3--the small tiki hanging just left of your wonderful door. I am hoping to find different tikis just like that one that I can just mount to existing cabinets. What do you think? Mahalo! :)

RevBambooBen are those doors in your house? Can I live in your hallway? What a creative perspective on what a hallway could and should look like! I love it!

Holy Sh*t Ben they do look like shoes. Back to the drawing board.

I have been fine. Sill working out of town so carving is slow.
Hey rodeo thanks
