34:28 hand uh ones that were in Adventure Land in the 1950s 1956 to about 62 or 63 no

34:32 in the 1950s 1956 to about 62 or 63 no

34:32 in the 1950s 1956 to about 62 or 63 no one's ever made these designs ever since

34:35 one's ever made these designs ever since

34:35 one's ever made these designs ever since as far as I can tell now as you can see

34:37 as far as I can tell now as you can see

34:37 as far as I can tell now as you can see these ones are not finished this one's

34:39 these ones are not finished this one's

34:39 these ones are not finished this one's still in the process of being painted so

34:41 still in the process of being painted so

34:41 still in the process of being painted so is this one technically this one's more

34:44 is this one technically this one's more

34:44 is this one technically this one's more or less done and it's pretty darn close

34:47 or less done and it's pretty darn close

34:47 or less done and it's pretty darn close this guy big red right here is pretty

34:49 this guy big red right here is pretty

34:49 this guy big red right here is pretty darn close to the way the one look that

34:52 darn close to the way the one look that

34:52 darn close to the way the one look that Walt Disney was peering up at in that

34:55 Walt Disney was peering up at in that

34:55 Walt Disney was peering up at in that classic photo from the Walt Disney

34:58 classic photo from the Walt Disney

34:58 classic photo from the Walt Disney archives the major difference being for

35:00 archives the major difference being for

35:00 archives the major difference being for years I would see that picture of Walt

35:02 years I would see that picture of Walt

35:02 years I would see that picture of Walt looking up at this Tiki mask here I like

35:05 looking up at this Tiki mask here I like

35:05 looking up at this Tiki mask here I like that's so cool it's very kind of Clowny

35:07 that's so cool it's very kind of Clowny

35:07 that's so cool it's very kind of Clowny and cartoony compared to what you'd see

35:09 and cartoony compared to what you'd see

35:09 and cartoony compared to what you'd see there nowadays or what you'd see from

35:11 there nowadays or what you'd see from

35:11 there nowadays or what you'd see from Oceanic Arts later on but I thought it

35:13 Oceanic Arts later on but I thought it

35:13 Oceanic Arts later on but I thought it was such a cool design I always wanted

35:14 was such a cool design I always wanted

35:14 was such a cool design I always wanted to do versions of these masks but what I

35:16 to do versions of these masks but what I

35:17 to do versions of these masks but what I couldn't see from that photo is and I

35:19 couldn't see from that photo is and I

35:19 couldn't see from that photo is and I did see way later after I had finish

35:21 did see way later after I had finish

35:21 did see way later after I had finish carving out this master pattern here is

35:24 carving out this master pattern here is

35:24 carving out this master pattern here is that the original versions had weird

35:26 that the original versions had weird

35:26 that the original versions had weird little ears on them that was not based

35:28 little ears on them that was not based

35:28 little ears on them that was not based on anything like authentic out in the

35:30 on anything like authentic out in the

35:30 on anything like authentic out in the carved mask world or anything that just

35:32 carved mask world or anything that just

35:32 carved mask world or anything that just seems to be completely random sporadic

35:34 seems to be completely random sporadic

35:34 seems to be completely random sporadic who knows maybe Disney asked for it all

35:36 who knows maybe Disney asked for it all

35:36 who knows maybe Disney asked for it all I know is in later iterations of those

35:38 I know is in later iterations of those

35:38 I know is in later iterations of those same masks the ears disappear what I

35:41 same masks the ears disappear what I

35:41 same masks the ears disappear what I mean by later iterations is that even

35:42 mean by later iterations is that even

35:42 mean by later iterations is that even though they never made these particular

35:44 though they never made these particular

35:44 though they never made these particular masks ever again sort of versions of

35:48 masks ever again sort of versions of

35:48 masks ever again sort of versions of them were produced so like this guy

35:50 them were produced so like this guy

35:50 them were produced so like this guy evolved into a much more authentic

35:53 evolved into a much more authentic

35:53 evolved into a much more authentic looking design Oceanic Arts put out one

35:55 looking design Oceanic Arts put out one

35:55 looking design Oceanic Arts put out one of the old Master patterns of which I

35:57 of the old Master patterns of which I

35:57 of the old Master patterns of which I actually have in my house and um you can

36:00 actually have in my house and um you can

36:00 actually have in my house and um you can see the design is somewhat similar you

36:02 see the design is somewhat similar you

36:02 see the design is somewhat similar you got a similar mouth shape so that

36:04 got a similar mouth shape so that

36:04 got a similar mouth shape so that survives similar kind of eyes a little

36:06 survives similar kind of eyes a little

36:06 survives similar kind of eyes a little bit of a similar nose and I did this

36:07 bit of a similar nose and I did this

36:07 bit of a similar nose and I did this master pattern and then only afterwards

36:09 master pattern and then only afterwards

36:09 master pattern and then only afterwards did I see those old vintage photos where

36:11 did I see those old vintage photos where

36:11 did I see those old vintage photos where you have the weird little elf ears on

36:13 you have the weird little elf ears on

36:13 you have the weird little elf ears on them and I decided you know what I've

36:15 them and I decided you know what I've

36:15 them and I decided you know what I've seen a lot of tiki mask in my day I've

36:16 seen a lot of tiki mask in my day I've

36:16 seen a lot of tiki mask in my day I've never seen any Tiki mask with elf ears I

36:18 never seen any Tiki mask with elf ears I

36:18 never seen any Tiki mask with elf ears I think I'm going to have my version

36:19 think I'm going to have my version

36:19 think I'm going to have my version without the elf ears you know so it's

36:21 without the elf ears you know so it's

36:21 without the elf ears you know so it's not a perfect replica and obviously some

36:23 not a perfect replica and obviously some

36:23 not a perfect replica and obviously some proportions are different cuz I carve

36:24 proportions are different cuz I carve

36:24 proportions are different cuz I carve this by hand but let me tell you when I

36:26 this by hand but let me tell you when I

36:26 this by hand but let me tell you when I say that my first goal in ever like

36:28 say that my first goal in ever like

36:28 say that my first goal in ever like doing any wood carving I was like if I

36:30 doing any wood carving I was like if I

36:30 doing any wood carving I was like if I ever carve a tiki I want to do these

36:32 ever carve a tiki I want to do these

36:32 ever carve a tiki I want to do these first four masks I'm not kidding the

36:34 first four masks I'm not kidding the

36:34 first four masks I'm not kidding the very first Tiki mask I ever carved I was

36:38 very first Tiki mask I ever carved I was

36:38 very first Tiki mask I ever carved I was trying to carve this one here cuz this

36:40 trying to carve this one here cuz this

36:40 trying to carve this one here cuz this is another one that always got my

36:41 is another one that always got my

36:41 is another one that always got my attention the one in the middle in those

36:43 attention the one in the middle in those

36:43 attention the one in the middle in those historic photos right there and suffice

36:46 historic photos right there and suffice

36:46 historic photos right there and suffice to say that my first attempt at doing

36:48 to say that my first attempt at doing

36:48 to say that my first attempt at doing this was not exactly historically

36:52 this was not exactly historically

36:52 this was not exactly historically accurate it was it took a couple of left

36:54 accurate it was it took a couple of left

36:54 accurate it was it took a couple of left turns there so I'm very pleased because

36:56 turns there so I'm very pleased because

36:56 turns there so I'm very pleased because that's a pretty much dead ringer this

36:57 that's a pretty much dead ringer this

36:57 that's a pretty much dead ringer this one you see here has got a lot of work

36:59 one you see here has got a lot of work

36:59 one you see here has got a lot of work left to do on it but eventually it'll

37:01 left to do on it but eventually it'll

37:01 left to do on it but eventually it'll look like this one of those four

37:03 look like this one of those four

37:03 look like this one of those four original masks I'm very very excited
