Crocodile Kundu (Drum) Lamp

Pages: 1 20 replies

Hi All! Long time, no posting... But I do swing by to lurk, and still create tiki when the mood strikes!

For several years, I've had an idea kicking around to build a PNG Drum Lamp truer to form... So here it is... 3 ft tall, 9" diameter.

Crocodile Kundu Lamp

This is a beauty, and so much more amazing in person! THAT is a handcarved Croc!

Amazing piece of work. That is something I would hang in my bar.

Man, Oh Man, Eric that is one cool lamp!!
You always were a very creative guy.

Wanted to go to the opening of you and Lena's art show but....
Well you know, we will try to make it before it closes for sure.

Great to see you back on TC and Makin Tiki art!
Don't stop now.

Great concept and very nicely done. Is the red design cut out and illuminated from behind or painted on?

Thanks!

It's handcut out of the brown layer, and illuminated from behind.

Thanks Skip! Yeah.. I know. We'll catch up here soon.

WowZ Skully!
That is ONE fine piece of work!
and the croc is a clincher!
Fine handiwork,Sir!

Nice work!

Outstanding......

Thanks all!!

And thanks for the kind linkage there, Skip!

Didn't mention previously, but the light color can be changed with its remote controlled LEDs... Draws a max of 20w at full intensity.

Here's a quick test to see a few possible color variations from over 16 choices and other functions- from the same 2 bulbs.

I love this!

So rad!

Wow! That is awesome Capt'n Skully. So great to hear from you!

That is one freaking AWESOME lamp!!!!! Incredible job Capt'n!! This thing looks a LOT bigger in person too!!

We were going to go but the Freaks come out at Night.

This light needs that old skool glow.
You lost me with the colors.
Just me, but then I don't even like to see Blowfish lights with
colored lights in them.

Very nice piece of work.

Hilda said it.
I believe it, &
that settles it.

Dude. That is cool.
Nicely done.

Wow...that is brilliant. My ceiling is still undone, but got a couple of lights...yours would look fabulous.

Thanks all!

Wow Skip! Thanks for taking all the nice pics and the appreciation!! Glad you were able to make it to the show - It was great seeing you and Barb again, and talking tiki with you too. We had lots and lots of compliments on all the lamps, but talking with someone who really understands the theme and what it takes to actually produce them was a real treat. More soon.. And I'll get a few shots of my Kahiki Lamp for you.

Now that the lamp is back in my hands, I'm looking forward to addressing and adding a couple more details to finalize it...
