I was thinking - what is the worlds biggest tiki mug? I’m not specifically talking about useable mugs you drink out of, but like a big sculpture of a tiki mug?

Like this is probably the worlds biggest banana:

Has anyone ever done a tiki mug equivalent? Pics and/or measurements would be tops :)

Thanks Kirby. I found a thread on that, but there were no pics or measurements etc etc. How tall is that puppy? Nice garnish :)

Well, I'm sure someone will post the details and a pic. of the big TikiBob that was made a few years ago. I can't remember who it was right now. And although I don't know about the LARGEST OF THEM ALL, I may have the largest Frankoma Ku War God here. It is 24" tall and weighs in at about 150 pounds.

I dug around and found this photo in an older thread but it isn't the one I remember. Seems like that shot was on a sidewalk somewhere. (But it isn't the original one in the tikibobs doorway.) Anyone else remember that??? This was created by Danny "Tiki Diablo" and is cool as ^$^%$&*!
It belongs to aquarj. Lucky Lucky!

Hi Joniece Frank of the original Frankoma is a dear friend of mine. Together we hold the copy write for the tiki line of the Trade Winds and Cultured Pearl. I am going to send her this posted photo so she can enjoy what has been done. I wish I owned this one. Soon there will be news on the resurrection of this War God by myself, Joniece and Gecko.

Wendy, thanks for the comps about my little carving.
If you are in the process of reproducing the war god I know there will be a ton of interest in that!! All of us that cannot find or afford an original would still love to own one.So since you have let the cat out of the bag here, keep us posted on the details and put ol' 8ft near the top of the list for a new mug when they are produced. Oh and here is a link to the thread I posted which detailed the progress of the carving from start to finish.

Sounds cool Wendy! I could never afford an original!!! Joniece will love the big red war god I'm sure. We do! Let us know when Gecko kicks off with the mug!

All the Best - Trader Jim (Make mine a Mai-Tai!).
