Sweet! I can't believe that was your first carving!

I see you have the home tiki bar that Krypton offers. Did you get it from them or elsewhere?

From Krypton. There is place in Baltimore that sells it.

for $1,000.00 more than Krypton. I decided to pay the 150 in shipping instead.

Your teeny wahine is adorable. Is that a tiki mug she's clutching? You're starting her early.

Tiki in the bathroom. Now THAT'S dedication !! :wink:

I really like the look of your bar, the lack of beachcomber/trader clutter* gives it a real streamline quality. The choice of the glass shelves to display the mugs makes for this nice juxtaposition between the primitive and modern. It seems like how a Tiki bar in Sweden in 1964 would have looked.

*Not a putdown on that style. I'm a big fan of the beachcomber/trader look, stuff crammed in every corner, things from all over the world.

Nice job on da Tiki, looks like mexican fan palm. Feels pretty good when your carving is finished huh. Congrats.

Wow, your tiki bar/room looks like a museum! Definitely a different look but still very nice.
