(2000s) Another look back by LeRoy Schmaltz at carving styles from OA's past. Here is an example of an "X-TIKI" as explained by LeRoy. He and carver, Ed Crissman would race each other creating tikis in palm wood to see who was fastest. They start with a chainsaw or sidewinder and place an X in the log to create a face with eyes, nose and mouth in two strokes! From there, it was who could knock 'em out best and fastest! This figure certainly would have lost LeRoy the race in that its detail in both carving and paint look anything but rushed. A signature OA tiki. 32"x11". VG+ with typical wear.
