I just picked these up from a dealer that closed up shop here at The Red Rooster Antique Mall in Vegas. They aren't really tikis per se, but if you want to get technical, they are the North American Native cousins of the Polynesian tikis we all know and love. All 5 are made of pine planks glued together to make a box with cut-out slats for shelves. The carvings are all identical and done by hand. I burned one of the boxes to see how the carvings would look, and I have to say it really brings out the detail in the design. Pretty cool; & I just thought I'd share them with ya! 'loha!
