I landed a big fish...this nicely carved Ku is over 5' tall, a solid trunk of wood (heavy as all), and came by way of fellow who said the original owner got it in Ft. Worth. As much as I'd like to think he was once sitting at Ren Clark's Polynesian Village, the style isn't in keeping with what was made for the PV (unless Mr. Clark also dragged a few pieces home from Hawai'i or...)

brought these 4 back from Honolulu; top lft from “tiki’s Grill” , Waikiki. Bottom lft , bought at La Mariana Sailing Club, Gecko/South Seas Art’s, The clear “mug” is quite common in SoCal cept this one is plastic as used at Duke’s Waikiki.
Supposedly, the devil mug was only gonna be available on halloween 2013 put they still had plenny on Nov.. 1. I’m not a huge fan of this type mug but I bought em for sentimental reasons. Btw, the Halloween night street party was beyond words. I’ll be posting pix soon as I get em sorted out. Not sure if they belong in “events” or “general"
Cheers

Nice memories to bring back from Hawaii in the forms of mugs. Can't wait to see that awesome looking Gecko mug in person. Welcome home Brother.
