I have BK's very first Tiki going up for bids.
The bidding starts at...
...just kidding... ain't no way... unless BK wants him back.
And even then he'll have to replace him with something equally stunning.

Here we have a typical spatulate club of the Solomon Islands in progress...this one is heavily decorated, with tons of checkering, chip carving, and simulated coral texture on the handle grip..it measures about 22 inches long. Carving it in rich, very hard, aromatic black walnut. The originals were carved from tropical oak or ironwood, and this stains quite dark in a similar manner. This one will be my feature in the Hukilau auction this year. It's a very nice club, one of my favorite forms, and as always not a toy...it is very sharp and quite heavy.

Hey Burger King, I ordered a tiki from you a couple years ago and you went underground for a while. Now that you are back out in the sun playing, I wanna toy dammit. What do you have in your bag of tricks?

Nice work, I love the club. I can't get to hukilau this year which is just making me sick inside.
