30-40 years old 8 ft tiki statue

A lady contacted me this week to help identify the tiki statue in the photos. She said it was 30-40 years old and it's been in been in their family for 30+ years.

Can anyone help with any information?

Oh, that's just another Barney West. :D

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...
Similar one below..

I think he should come live with me in Hawaii...

Was it the Tiki Mag article that sprang the Barney West finds, or was it the finds that sprang the article?

RoyalTiki, you need to re-read the Book of Tiki Son! This is Tiki 101, especially someone who sells tikis! :) Half Joking, but half serious! But then again, I need to reread my "Small Business Owners Staying Afloat" book too!

yeah, you're probably right, but I hate guessing and then finding out someone says I was wrong. You guys here are the masters of all things Tiki so I always come here. You may have said it was the long-lost missing link tiki worth a few hundred grand for all i knew :)

thanks everyone, i'll pass it along.

Seeing as how it is cracked, I'd give you $50 for it. :wink:
