Temporary Doof Craftsman
Angelo Camilleri, direct descendent of Timotao Camilleri, the Doof painter of the Renaissance, began to carve Doofs while working as a merchant marine in the south seas. He watch the local craftsman create tikis for the tourists and then copied their techniques in making six foot high Doofs out of palm wood. He tried in vain to sell them to tourists and eventually gave up to try to carve them out of cocoanuts. He returned to the United States no richer for his endeavors, gave up on the Doofs for horse racing.
