The lucite panels are made using a mystery process that will not be revealed here....:) The wood area surrounding the lucite is all poplar and I carved the simple design at the top and bottom. The tiki are separate pieces with a v notch cut into the back so it can wrap the corner. When it was assembled, I used a scooped gouge to texture the entire lamp for that hand cut lumber look. The acrylic craft paint was mixed 50/50 with water so that when I stain OVER it , the stain permeates the paint for that aged crusty look. A little hot glue for the sea grass and then lightly hit it with a torch for a more aged look. Coat the entire thing with 3 coats of laquer, hand buff and your done. Spermy, thats a real nice thing to say.. thanks. [ Edited by: Monkeyman 2006-02-06 10:32 ]

The lamp is top-notch, fine work, that. You know, it would be a great compliment to the frame you made for me. Remember that one, it was a while ago, many carvings ago for you? Perfect match for that frame, perfect. Well done...again. midnite

T TikiJosh Member Joined: Feb 01, 2005 Posts: 735	T TikiJosh Posted posted on 02/08/2006 Over in the general (might have been marketplace) forum there was a thread about a witco lamp, sold for close to $900 on ebay. I think I might like this one a little more. I noticed you don't have it on your website (not that I could afford it), but I'm a sucker and I have to ask-- did you sell it, and if so, how much did you get for it (I'd like to save up and get one commissioned) :)

F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1514	F Formikahini Posted posted on 02/09/2006 oh, MAN, Monkeyman!! I have never seen any lamp made by anybody anywhere at any time that was cooler or AS cool when lit up. Those sillouetes(sp?) are HYP-mo-ti-zing! I too just GOTTA start spending more time on "Creating"!! I have been seriously missing out!! Too bad a lamp like that can't be mass marketed (NOT so we could devalue its worth or undercut its price - rather, so THAT WE COULD ALL HAVE ONE!!!). How cool would that be if all our fine carvers' beautiful works could be as accessable as Witcos were in the day. Just pop by Sears and pick up a Bamboo Ben bedroom set, a Gecko display shelf and a Benzart tiki to go along with your Monkeyman frames and swag lamp. Ahhhhh, shopping made Paradise!

M Monkeyman Tiki Socialite Vista, CA Joined: Mar 04, 2003 Posts: 2386	M Monkeyman Posted posted on 05/25/2006 This is definitely not a new style of lamp but since everybody else has made one I thought I would give it a try also. The resin base tutorial from Ona tiki was a big help... Thanks With the room lights off.

H hodadhank Member Mission Beach, CA Joined: Dec 28, 2005 Posts: 1689	H hodadhank Posted posted on 05/25/2006 Far out Monkey! That green bulb really pushes it over the top. There's no green in the tapa to begin with, right? You have done well grasshopper... Legend has it Ona's rigorous tutorial program begins with the snatching of the pebble from his hand and culminates when you can lift the giant scalding urn with your forearms... (Actual photo of Monkeyman in OnaTiki's hidden Chamber of a Thousand Lamps)
M Monkeyman Tiki Socialite Vista, CA Joined: Mar 04, 2003 Posts: 2386	M Monkeyman Posted posted on 05/25/2006 Correct Hodad, The tapa fabric has no green in it. Just the bulb. I messed around with yellow, blue, white, and red and the green seemed to yield the best effect.
MR Matt Reese Member San Diego Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1182	MR Matt Reese Posted posted on 05/25/2006 Wow! That is very nice. I like the angle cuts on the top protruding bamboo. A subtle yet striking touch. Those words contradict each other don't they? Anyway, great job.
