I have looked both on Google and on here for information, but have not found anything about it. The wood is of dark color. The frame is carved. In the center of the plaque is an outrigger canoe with four tikis sitting in it. The front and back tikis are taller than the two middle ones. The outrigger sticks out from the carving. Behind the outrigger is some kind of matting. The person I talked to about it says it is done by Crazy Al. I can't find anything of that nature in relation to Al's name. Anyone have any information? Mahalo!

Was trying to find out if the asking price was in the right range or not. I most likely will buy it though since I think that it would make such a great main art focus.

I looked at his site but couldn't find anything like that on t. I guess you knew where to look, Fugu. Where it lists Two Canoes it is very similar to the top one. It is then mounted on a plaque with a weaved mat behind it and then framed. The guy wants $160 for it.
