I like that style and design. It definitely has Kirby in it and that is a good thing. I'd love to carve in palm someday, a 6 ft piece would be a treasure to me.

Kirby,
I think trying to put a body on there may be a bit tight. I think he looks grand as he is. I think he would look great with a body, but I would hate to see him get killed so late in the game. Let us know where you wind up. Great work. Thanks for posting pics!

Boy, Kirb, that tiki is something else. 6ft o' tiki goodness...Yummy! I say no body. I'm all about big heads and little bodys, but I don't think there's enough space there.
I like a lot of head on my tiki
I'm diggn' on the mouth and those teeth. I'ma teeth freak when it comes to tikis - I think the mouth is the most important part of the tiki, next being the eyes. It's also my favorite part to carve. Those teeth are big and nice...they look like real chompers. You going to carve the mouth out all the way? I think deep mouths are cool.
You got some crazy detail going there, kirb, I think you should get some more 6 foot (or bigger) logs and go hog-wild.
thanks for the updates, they're looking good....
