Mele Kalikimaka and happy Winter Solstice! May the days to come get brighter and brighter ((*)). I love your channel and I feel like your carvings are just getting better and better. Nice work. Looking forward to much more to come :)

I love handmade Tiki. What you created looks great. I have a soft spot for Tiki Bob. I'm tempted to create my own.

Another nice carve, Jayme, and thanks for offering another giveaway. Crossing my fingers that I win this year.

I have always admired your port hole behind your bar , could you do a how to on it, or reference your video if already done. Thanks again.

Jayme, that tiki that you carved looks awesome, I can’t believe that this is only your 3rd attempt at carving!! It’s really cool!! What tool do you use for carving?

Love the ornaments, and would love to have one! Took my wife to Bali Hai on a date night last year when visiting San Diego and loved it! Wish I still drank (no, not really. Ha ha!) because I would've stopped at Trader Mort's.

Always love your DIY videos, this one is no exception. I would love to get my hands on some palm logs but not possible in my area. Is cedar the next best wood to carve/router? What would you suggest?

Trader Mort is so iconic. We visit the liquor store every year when attending tiki oasis in San Diego. Great job bringing him to life to enjoy at the Lagoon of mystery. Would love to win Trader Mort to put next to the other ornament I received from you. Merry Christmas

Nice job! Thanks for sharing

I love all of your how to videos. I am on a serious budget and have to do everything myself (such as curing bamboo etc). I can't wait to try to carve my own tiki like you did in this video!

This is my favorite one!!!!!

Another great carving video! One of these days I might get brave and try one. Those little tiki Christmas ornaments are amazing. 👍

Amazing as always, I look forward to seeing what you do every year. This one is especially cool because it's from my home town (my parents used to work off Shelter Island). Great job Jayme!

It's a christmas tradition to see what ornament you create every year. Sadly in Canada. Merry Christmas to you and your family

Ooooh I love the trader morts dude. We snagged the mug last time we were there. Would love an ornament for the tree! We love putting tiki ornaments in the tree. We have a few from Trader Vic’s.

Another great informative video. Thank you

I need to get me some new carving tools!

In my home theater, i made some cloth covered sound absorption panels years ago that are 6' tall, hung about a foot off the floor and a foot from the ceiling.. they're hung up solidly on french cleats, and i realized hey the top is basically a little shelf, so I started keeping my tiki mug collection up there.. it grew and grew and got too big for the panels, so i thought hey i'll add some little bridge shelves in between, and i was inspired by your tiki trim video to do a bit of carving and wood burning to give them a tiki vibe, hung some raffia underneath, and they turned out awesome. Now I have plenty of room for more, and a little Trader Mort's Tiki would feel right at home on them not just on Christmas, but year round!

Very methodically project. Thank you for your details! 😊

You’ve inspired me, to make my own Tiki. Thank you!

An awesome carving . I’d love a Trader Mort mini tiki to come to the UK

That looks fantastic, Jayme! Congrats on another great project! Mahalo!

love the videos...Now I always drill a pilot hole. thanks you can tell how hard you work on these, and you really seem to have a fun time.

Both the bust and ornaments turned out awesome! Wish I had the talent to do these! 🙂 We always hit the local tiki spots doing the Christmas themed drinks!

I’d love a Trader Mort ornament for my tree! I love incorporating Mele Kalikimaka designs into my decor. Thanks to your post on FB I found your channel and subscribed. Mahalo!

Dude those are cool my dad loves tikis lol

Love it!

Is that Martin Denny?

Mahalo for this, Jayme! I'm a huge fan of Mr. Canepa's work, and to see an interview with him was fantatsic, especially with such insightful questions! Cheers.

Great story! Thank you for sharing!

I love how your bar turned out! Somewhere down the road I’d like to redo a bar for a future property. You gave me some good ideas here. Doubt I’ll find anything as cool as that “bosco” that’s mounted on yours but who knows what I’ll find! lol I guess time is on my side for that project! I’m not exactly sure what a bosco is. Or maybe I’m spelling it totally wrong!

I'm an artist and I have considered moving into creating tiki materials. This is super helpful. .

Tony is AWESOME! He did the art for my home bar glassware back in 2017 and I am still absolutely thrilled with the design. He is so easy to work with and took each of my crazy ideas and put them together into a cohesive, and beautiful, design.

Does this guy play music or just talk over it?

Thanks for the tutorial! Just finished my first one!

What about Alaska? 😂 (In a greenhouse I mean obviously)

I found some piece of used home decor at the thrift store and I don't even know what it was. It's a tall rectangular wood box covered in bamboo or something and it looks kind of tiki. I assume it was something for displaying plants or maybe it was the bottom of a lamp. I have no idea. I just bought it cause I figured it could be put to use in my (future) tiki bar.

Mahalo, Jayme! That place looks great! It was a lot of fun seeing it, and I love the idea of serving little bites with the drinks - what a cool idea!! Cheers and thanks for another great video.

There is a second book on Tyree featuring animals, birds, land-scapes, fish and nature.... My Father did over 5,000 paintings !!!!! And, had a heart attack at only 57 and died!!! SO!!! 5,000 paintings in only 37 years is simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! (2nd book also by C.J. Cook)

There was a New Hotel that opened in Honolulu and they placed one of his paintings in the Lobby window with a machine behind it moving her chest and EVERYBODY thought it was a live woman!!!!! THAT'S HOW "REAL" HIS WORK WAS!!!!!!!!!!

Its NOT true that My Father's work was NOT selling !! Once we got to Hawaii , My Father was only painting to make a living!! No outside source of money!! His problem was he was too nice, a True Gentleman and would sell paintings TOO CHEAP!!! He changed to velvet because of the effect he could achieve on velvet! MORE REALIZIM!!!

THANK-YOU for Your compliments they are all true!!! He painted from 9:00 to 12:00 every day !!! 7 days a week!!! He perfected his craft!!!!!!!! I'm his oldest son!!! Gregory....

While writing to Margo he drew pictures and sent them to Margo showing 7 children!!! He had 7 CHILDREN!!! I know because I am the oldest one!! 6 boys , one sweet, daughter!!!

Thanks for showing . I plan on making a visit

Thanks for this video. I can't wait to visit this place 😍 Tiki Time cocktails.

Im so happy I found this channel!

Sounds like it’s time for a trip to Galveston 🖖👽❤️

Thanks for another great informative video. Sounds looks like a good spot..

Awesomeness! Now there is a solid destination spot for my tiki fix when visiting my G-town friends and businesses.
