I wanted to show you guys My New Tiki Mug , King Ku!
Well not New , It was designed back in February.
I will be Making a Numbered run of 75 of these mugs for TCers
and I will start a thread in market place later when I'm ready.
I"ll do some test glazes, then post some pics here

This King Ku Mug was in the works for several months and to finish it, wasn't easy.
The mold for this guy is Crazy, 17 piece mold!
I wanted to design a mug that looked like it was a hand carved Tiki ,like a one of kind Mug.
so here it is..


here's a batch of King ku mugs that I took to Tiki Oasis

and This Guy here is a one off that will go on Ebay soon


So what do you guys think?

There it is!

I saw this thing in person, and man. MAN, it is nice. I wanted one, but unfortunately, by the time I made it to Tiki Oasis this year, I already had an entire carry-on of mugs.

Hot damn!

Holy cow, dude. I love the one I've got, but that one with all the Maka is over the top, top notch. High fives over the internet mah brotha.

17 piece mold! Are you serious? What is wrong with you? :D Anything more than 5 does my head in.

This shows the true potential of what is achievable from slip casting to produce something amazing. Awesome mug.

Notch makes outstanding mugs. We love his KU Bar mug and this one is right up there spectacular. Each year at Oasis we run to find Notch and his buddy Danny because we know they'll have outstanding tiki mugs and bowls. These are huge. Wendy

Here's a skull mug he did.

Seventeen pieces is a lot of mold lines to clean up. NOTCH the mug is so terrific we appreciate the work. Thank you for a great mug, Wendy and Dan

That mug is a beauty. Way to push the boundaries. Very traditional but way higher fidelity. Congratulations.

That is one damn cool mug. looks like a boat load of work too

I'm in awe! Absolutely incredible.

17? Insane. And I say that knowing how much I struggle with my simple 2 piece mold.

The results make it all worthwhile. Amazing work.

It's still in the box from the parking lot sale Notch. One of these daze I will take it out, pose it, click it, and post it here because I want to. He's a beauty!

HT

I can't wait to see the one you do for TC.

Lucky enough to see this one in it's beginning stages! Finished product blows me away!!

Aloha TCers!!
So I figured out what glaze to make the run of King Ku Mugs .
Its a rich brown glaze with black that makes the mug pop pretty good.
I've sold five in this same color glaze at Oasis last year and they sold quick @$250
Ill be selling these guys at $125+shipping and will available next month in marketplace.
So I already have a list brewing so let me know if you would like to get one of these Killer Mugs.
And Payment Will only be accepted the day the mug is ready to be shipped so thar be no hang time..
Mucho Mahalos! And stay tuned..
Notch

Dig it, man. That's one of the things I loved about the mugs at Oasis when I saw them. Is they looked, and felt like an old carving.

Beautiful, man.
