yes teak, Tiki#141 has less of a 'Far' Eastern theme, However, the East is intriguing to me as i explain in my next Tiki Mag article. this race is neck and neck... final pic will be Sunday.. |

Ok, so there I go. Crane style indeed. Damn got to wait for my camera to charge a bit, totally dead. Can't wait to see what all those little snips of tiki look like together and parts add into it. Best game going. Never anticipated a reveal more than this. What a way to introduce 141. |

Thanks Al for a fun comp, well done Teakey on the win. Great job on the carve, its a monster. Kinda scary too. As always it's in the detail where it really shines. Shame I can't make it over to see it for real. |

Very fun game Al. Part clues, part Al history piecing, and part straight out guessing. And got to Race the Racer (great TC artist too). Best part of checking in on Tiki Central this week. So wheres the big foot?? Is it a game to find it. Cool to win that mug. Liked it since it came out and I don't have that one yet. Will be a favorite of mine for a lifetime I'm sure. My favorite mugs are the ones that you can't just buy. This one has a great back story now. I'll have to make it a daily drinker too. Big Thanks C'AL -teaKEY |

See the link above now. Very cool, not too far off. Those round eyes are what I think sets it on fire. Little gleaming circle eyes is a different look for you. And for anyone who hasn't seen the new lava rock glazes Al has in the market place check out the bottom of the page I like the really black King. |

I just want to say, as the owner of Tiki #141, I couldn't be more thrilled with the work that Al has done. We'd been emailing for nearly a year about having him carve a tiki, and it was certainly worth the wait! It's been great to see all of the compliments in this thread, and please be assured that Tiki #141 will have a happy home with a loving family. So what are you waiting for? Commission Al for your very own tiki! |

Well, since Ol' Mr. Bergeron invented the Mai Tai sometime in 1944, I'll look thataways. Maybe the "Mai Tai Momma"? I don't know if that draws in your candy reference, though. How about the Vic-tory Pole? Trader's Tiki? Mai Tai Menehune? The Angry Idol |

Such great guesses. If they're not correct, perhaps Mai Tai metua vahine? or Metua Vahine Natura? I think I'll go get some rum for inspiration. |
