Not that I could afford them, but how much would carvings like the tall poles run?

More really NICE carvings by Mr Keigs. Man your tikis are really looking Great.You are really getting a handle on the depth and detail. Only problem I see is you don't make enough of it. Maybe 3 or 4 carvings a day would keep us Happy??
Excellent work Keigs.

love that fountain with the steps down the side. And its all selfcontained. But wouldn't the wood soak it up at the bottom??

Thanks Rodeo I try to post the new stuff but a lot of stuff I carve is the same.
Tiki Gardner thanks I will pm you.
Rev RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! thanks man!
Benz when I first started carving totems Bill would come over to look at them and say dont be scared to carve a little deeper. It took me a while but you guys are right it does look better and I have not cut a tikis head off yet like I was worried about. As for the carving 3-4 a day thats not a problem its the damn Witco finish that takes forever to do. Hey benz I am in the process of maybe moving. The town I am moving to has a carving on every corner I will send you some pics. Like you these guys can carve anything. Luckily they dont do tikis or I would be in trouble. Mostly bears, fish, cowboys and loggers.
Hewey when I first started I did not see a lot of darker carvings and thought it was cool to be different. With Bill teaching me and the lack of palm trees in W.A. I pretty much had to go dark. As for the animal print fabric I thought it was terrible. Now the cheesier the better my house is filled with gaudy Witco pieces and somehow it all fits together I think... My neighbor probably disagrees.
Thantos I am sure you could put a waterproof top on them. The stools are made of cedar and would fade and check in the weather but they would last many years.
Polypop thanks I seen your totems post looks like he is in good company.
Teakey I coat the wood with a clear coat really thick were the water hits it so it wont soak in.
Thanks for all the replys and compliments
feel free to email me if you want something carved or to bs k.pleasantjr@verizon.net
