Last year in O'ahu, Mdm Bong and I went to a place we know and ordered a couple of carved doors for the front.

The doors are mahogany and the design is of banana leaves. The doors are carved on both the exterior and interior sides.

From the front of the house.

Very cool Bong. Looks like you got some tiki hiding in the garage.

Those doors are really nice. Did they come finished? Any chance you would share some pics of the carvings that are infront of the Bong hut and in the Bong car park.

Mrs. Fury wants those doors! Now!!!!!! If I ask nicely will you tell us how and where we can order ours? The 1970s tract home we are moving to needs that kind of help.

Those are beautiful! They really set the standard for tiki front doors. Your address numbers look very cool, too. Gorgeous tropical plants, they seem to make the tikis happy enough to stick around in the garage.

BONG,
Very sweet! Those doors really set the tone for what's inside. Hey, your front yard looks great now that the construction rubble has been removed. I really like the stone along the driveway, and the way the theme carries through to the entry.

I'm afraid with a joke like that, we're gonna have to ask you to leaf.

Thanks for the kind words folks. If interested I can be the name of the people we ordered them from.

Those doors are beautiful ! Did Mdm Bong design them, or was it an existing design ? Having 2 doors with that nice color and carving really makes for a wonderful entry. I like that carved piece w/ the tapa-like design, that's just above the door on the inside of the house, too ! Thanks for posting.

They look like plastic toys pasted into your home with photoshop.

I think I'll have to come out to HB now that I've got a chance and verify that they are as spectacular as they appear.

And what of this "bar" I've been reading about?

I'm going to have to inspect that too.

And you're a musician, or so I've read - I'll just have to bring my uke and knock on your new "doors" and drink some drinks in your "bar" and play some "music" with you. I should be able to complete my research in about 6-8 hours, depending on the amount of times your wife yells "get out now" and hits me with the pepper spray.

Always with the pepper spray. Oy.

Yeah, I've heard you're coming out West once or twice before...

You're gonna feel SO bad when I tell you "the whole truth" face to face. It involves llama and polynesia and hospitals and whole grains and evil and...and... a bunch more stuff you'll just have to wait for...

....nyah.

Your door is plastic; what about THAT?

P.S. So, what rum should I not come without?

Yes those doors say a lot. They say "Tropical paradise inside". or "Crazy man who likes those Tiki things lives here" and lots of other stuff. They are very nice doors and you are the envy of TC. I think we would all love at least One of those doors on our house. Beautiful.
