Austral Islads Paddle by Tikimecula

I'm still not sure about letting this one go, But I am almost done with another one that i like just a little better than this one.

If you want a nice paddle to adorn your wall here goes..

It's 50 inches tall and detail carved on every square inch. It's poplar wood and stained to look like a 19th century curio.

And it will also come with the hangers i am using to hang it.

Now the hard part, I never know what to price my carvings at. I only have time to do very few each year. From start ot finish i have over 60-70 hours on this one alone.

I'll take $1200 for it shipped and insured.

Right after i finished this i saw an original sell on ebay for almost $8000

That is freakin' amazing. If I had the extra money, it would be on my wall already!!

Wished I could afford this guy T-mec! I have seen this fella in person and it's a steal at this price! Jeez!...the man hours in this alone...

Glad you have another one coming out, or I would say...Andy - Duuuude, don't sell it.

Jesus F Christ! What a labor of love! They just don't make'em like that any more, even in the islands.

beautiful!!!only 60-70 hrs .it looks like it took a lot more that that.great work!!

Can you cut the top part to make it a giant fork to go with GROG giant tiki spoon?

That's completely insane brah!

Not the price being insane, but the workmanship.
