(Best Mai-Kai Sonny voice): "Thank you and we'd like to welcome on your journey to the island of Basement Kahuna, know for his wierd idiosynchracies, anal-retentive carving practices and incredibly slow delivery times, and often reclusive if hedonistic nature"...  Here's a fairly traditional Bora Bora guy for Pappythesailor, 6 feet 4 inches in cedar. Hope it was worth the wait, Jay!! Hot off the bench! I'm working on getting everybody on the commish list wrapped up, (Queen K, Kingstiedye, Tom D., Traveling Jones yer also in production all at once!!). Then it's Basement Kahuna one-off stuff indefinitely.

I think it looks great. These pics are the first I've seen of it and I'm mighty happy. It's gonna be the focal point of the Bora Bora Basement (Granite you have an open invite.) BK, I hope this is just the start of a whole bunch more swell tikis from you this year. Thanks.
(Time to buy that spotlight? Maybe I'll wait until he arrives...)

Good to see you back at some big Tikis. I like the jewelery but bigger is better. It's the American way.
Nice chops!

The Kahuna returns! Love the weird wooden-greenish color of those marquesan eyes!!

Is that a Sonny tribute headpiece too?
You are crackin on it just in time to get something in the Hideaway. You have any weapons on your agenda? I can add to your commish list!
