These large wood utensils will tell everyone entering your kitchen that you're very serious about your Tiki!
This kitschy 70's wall art is made of a lightweight wood and can be crude, polished or shellacked. Standard color is simply wood tone but some versions can be painted black, have metallic wipe-away paints or are two toned for more contrast. The sizes range from 9" long to 3 feet long (or longer). The figures can be full or half bodied Tikis or abstracted moai faces. The largest examples have five faces.
They are usually made in the Philippines but not marked with any maker info. Occasionally a large knife can also be found.
I like to call these "The Forbidden Cutlery", and if they're good enough for Elvis, they're good enough for me!
