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!

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.

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.

NOTCH posted on 06/03/2013

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.
