"Truncated Sports Equipment of the South Pacific"? Looks like a football and a bowling pin with both ends cut off?
edit - spelling

Anthony Maye what a creative mind you have to come up with this.

"Tiki Skip more hints please"
?
I'm not in on this one, Got some ideas but got no time.
Plus the stuff I would do for this would time a long time to make.
Cool stuff so far though.
It's fun seeing what others do.

Hang10 those tats are great- Very creative, Pikey I smell something fishy, Anthony I'm diggin' the Jimmy Durante tiki bar fish and Mad Dog Jacque Cousteau would not know what kind of sea creature that is going to be.

Glad to keep you guys entertained for a minute 
The football in no secret, here's what I'm aiming for:
It will be offered with a couple of feet of cannon fuse that you can light in the bar when you want to show off  I'll have to test it but I don't think the burning fuse will damage the ceramic.
The bowling pin is not really a secret, it's just one of those things that depends on color to complete it. To show it unfinished would be a little anticlimactic.
In case you are wondering, if I do happen to make more than one swap item, my swap partner will be allow to choose which one they want (page one, rule #2 )

"I'll have to test it but I don't think the burning fuse will damage the ceramic."
In mythbuster fashion I will bet that it will, Not badly but I would guess that it
will leave a mark. (I used to make things with this fuse)
And where do you get said fuse?
I can't find that stuff, Plus the electronic fuse, can't find that now.
Great idea can't wait to see it!!

Thanks Jon
John, I picked up a coil (20 feet) of that fuse online several years ago but looks like it is still available. I didn't see any restrictions on who they sell to except that it has to be sent USPS ground

You don't generally put underglaze on wet clay but I will texture through the writing after it's dry to age it.

Mike your keg is fantastic and I love the little puffer. I wish you could be here at the International Tiki Marketplace today. HB Tiki, Margi, Woo Hoo, and Soccer tiki have shown us a great time and this event will continue the fun. Wendy
