well... there is a long story to this log....... here it goes...... the log is a commission for my old friend Bobby Green. Who commissioned Tiki#80 for his bar 'The Lucky Tiki' Ten years ago Bobby asked me to cave these into existing support posts... since I could carve... these led to this... another success, the 'Big Foot Lodge San Francisco'... i did two faux bear heads for that bar also........ that led to these guys as an air horn sounds in Bobby's sixth successful bar 'Stinkers Truck Stop!! down Sunset Blvd. from Tiki Ti this asinine idea led to this hairy bit of nonsense The Inuit of the north woods do have a Big Foot like creature in their stories: A common figure throughout the myths of the pacific coast, Dzoonokwa masks were an important symbol of status which nouveaux riche families could buy the right to carve and wear in dances: a much sought privilege, which for most other masks could only be inherited by birthright. She can also be the benefactor of immense power and wealth. The Dzoonokwa corresponds to the legendary Bigfoot or Sasquatch of the southern coast; Known by its Salish Indian name meaning "hairy man." Allegedly sighted for centuries, descriptions vary from being a creature at least eight feet tall, long powerful arms, thick hair and a foul smell, to being a semi-clothed, tool carrying hominid supposedly of "man" height. anyway.....my Bigfoot is no pendulum breasted man eater... Bobby found these guys to be Man beast'ish here is Bobby... the raven or crow comes in here... Bobby also builds race cars and hold the world's record for his 4 cilindar Belly-tanker at Bonneville, the "Old Crow" Big Foot's best friend the Raven:

NOOOOOO! Okay, it's Pacific Northwest, but I think most carvers are into in this style anyway - I know I am. It's cool to see those critters you did too. |

Al, I am a HUGE saquatch fan....and I love the stuff you just showed us. That Yeti is too much! I would kill for something like that. The new carving is very, very neat. I imagine that will capture the attention of tens of thousands of people over the next buncha years. He is very lucky to have you as a friend. You are very lucky to be as talented as you are. -G |

Although not tiki a very carve so far. I am a big fan of crazy al stuff, even if it is not tiki. I just remembered the spongebob carving from your homepage.
Tell me where to buy this cool cut protection suit? Please be careful with the chainsaw. |

Al - that's fantastic stuff! Your totem carving looks very true to form. I'm no expert in anything, but I just got back from Alaska - and they look pretty authentic to me. The skunk butts are really neat too. Must be hilarious when those go off! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing! Greg |
