I carved the orignal Exotica Tiki for the honorable Mr. Martin Denny and his daughter whom I love for giving me the oppertunity to carve him this challange.....yes challange because I was thinking about the master and what a challange it was to brain storm for an idea. I actually put it off for sometime because I was honostly nervous! So, one day I threw on my exotica cd and just started drawing a image on the log because it was time to stop waisting time. I had the song on repeat the whole time I carved it for inspiration and I fanally came out with a concept. So, here is the story, I wanted to include all of his band members somehow in this tiki because I feel they were a BIG part of making the honorable Mr. Denny the master of exotica and the living legend that he is today. So I included the band members on the bottom which are the small tikis around the base holding Mr. Denny up which is the main tiki on top. so there is 5 tikis around the base to honor Arthur Lyman, August Colon, Harvey Ragsdale, and Julius Wechter....Soooo, whos the 5th tiki on the base? ME. I carved it common! I wanted to hold up MR. Denny to! No just kidding, actually it represents the state of Havaii and US his fans! Yes you all here at TC are a part of that mug to because of your dedication to tiki. OHANA right? So this is no ordinary mug to me, it really means a lot, its a very special peice and I hope who ever gets it cherishes this mug as I will. That is the true story behind the carving for you to know too now. Mr.Denny already knows it. So go and spread da word! Live Aloha "G"

I was imagining the picture of you with Martin Denny presenting the tiki when I read it. We are lucky to have someone like you in our midst, and to think we all can share in your creation with a mug. Mahalo is an understatement. Okole Maluna, Bruddah!

I got an email last night saying we are looking at 6 weeks for them to go on sale so hopefully you guys will be just as excited in 6 weeks as you are now. Mahalo to everyone again for your nice coments. It has encouraged me to come out with more of my designs that I have not seen on the market and I know you'll love them as much as you do this one. I'll try to get that fire burning just a little more for you guys that collect newer mugs. Again, mahalo!
