FANTASTIC !! I hope some day to visit. But what's up with that Zebra head ??
Zebras are not indigenous to Hawaii, but there is one at the Honolulu Zoo.

Holy smokes! Not sure if I'm more jealous about how good the place turned out or how incredibly fast you work. The best tiki bars pay a lot of attention to the smallest of details and you've really knocked that one out of the ballpark. Well done.

I just saw glances of the house, is it as cool as I think? Is there a turret? Very cool place.

Had an itch to make something last night so I made a cover for the ceiling fan light.
Gives off a cool glow.

Wowwee. What can one say other than congrats. Obviously years of collecting and hard work to amass such a collection, not to mention the financial ability to build something that extraordinary. Hear that? shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thats me, being blown away!

The pic showing the pool reminds me of where Jack Horner resided in Boogie Nights.

Hey Murph...It would be great to see some step by steps of what you do. You have great ingenuity when it comes to making tiki stuff.

Photos do not do the Waikiki Womb justice. You've got to experience it first hand to really appreciate it. Plus, Murph is a great guy and he and his wife are gracious hosts. Great job Murph.

I added another lamp.
This one I made out of an empty Kraken Rum bottle.
