Every year Doug Horne creates the poster and I recreate his vision into 3D by the pendants and the Offficial Tiki.I think this is his best design yet but every year I think he tests my skills to see if I can pull it off . This single hunk of Mexican fan palm carved like oak so I could add all his little details and its shaped like the mug design . I love the way the outer dark wood contrasts the softer inner wood for the pants and the finish makes it POP! This will be on display in the lobby with a large secret tiki Im working on now .Yes this piece is for sale and will be priced accordingly to the amount of math ,carving and detail . Even the little cat at his feet which is stained "espresso" color has Abalone eyes that twinkle . Im so proud of the way this came out but it was a lot of work . I hope you enjoy it as much as I do . Mahalos, Ray

The cat was in the original mug design but it was impossible for John Mulder to add it to the mug and make it cost effective to the masses. My carving was a one time deal so I left it in.

Amazing job Ray, as always! I have just a little preview here of things that we'll be bringing to the show. Be prepared for some amazing new stuff at the show. You never know...there might even be a UFO sighting... Sorry I don't really have completed item pictures, but it's a process over here building this stuff and the wiring comes last. 
 Of COURSE a little something spacey...
and something HOT! (it is Caliente after all!)
And some more traditional stuff... Cant wait to see you all!

Aloha!
Here's some of the stuff I've completed and that will be for sale at Tiki Caliente 5. Each piece is handmade using fabric designed by Eric October. They honor 2 historic tiki palaces: The Stockton Islander and the Bahooka.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Palm Springs!

So...I just got home from ditching Mister Nelson for the weekend and all I an say is...OH MY GOD... He worked like a machine while I was gone...You all know that the early bird gets the worm over at our booth. I'm telling you now, there WILL be a couple of our tikinaut lamps in new styles, plus many amazing traditional lamps. We'll be there bright eyed and bushy tailed friday morning!
