Lake Tiki
Lake Tiki was founded in 2001 to bring the art and spirit of the South Pacific Isles to the Midwest. His work has spread throughout the country to homes, restaurants and bars. He specializes in handcarved wood tikis, tropical inspired signage, carved masks and wallhangings and specialty items like tiki fountains. Carved from northern species of trees such as pine, ash and cedar, Lake Tiki creations have a look all their own.
