I don't think I have ever posted here as I don't typically create anything tiki. I did find this paddle at a marine salvage place in Miami a few years ago and had the idea of painting it like the one on the front cover of the book Oceanic Art. That's the book that apparently helped to inspire Bob and Leroy at Oceanic Arts. Anyway, here is my creation... |

Very nice paddle but I'm afraid I have no idea what a "Hawaiian thing-a-ma-jig-hula-do-dad" is. :-? |

Ha! A tourist at Disney World actually said that to me about a Benzart tiki I was wearing. I thought it was hilarious, so I use it as a signature line. |

Hey, I thought it was from the Cook Islands. Solomons? Oh well, I dig the design as well. |

Wait a minute. You were at Disney World? Is there video to prove it? |

Nice paddle, by the way Geoff. I have the book too and love the design. You can paint my paddle any day. |
