I started on my new tiki a few days ago, I've been working on him for five days now and only have two hours to work on him at night before it gets dark. So far it's been better then the last one. I learned to wait and let it dry out before you start, It's not as hard when you let it dry right. I will post more pictures when I get the rest done.
Tikifreak, great work. Keep them coming out, everyone needs a tiki in there home.

Mad tiki-I love the work in progess shots. Keep us posted. I think the work in progress are the most informative for carvers. Keep it up.

Here is my first carving. I am calling him Mr. Kahiki, in honor of the late lamented tiki mecca. He is about three feet tall, carved from birch. I am going to mount a mailbox on top of him and put him out front of our beach house.

Hey nice work Lake Surfer dude. I remember how you scored that wood. Maybe we should name your style Great Lakes Tiki.

Yeah, Nice work everyone keep up the chislin' and postin' Summertime is a great time for this stuff isn't it. Here is my latest:
I am still trying to decide how to finish him off. I am thinking either polyurathane or tung oil. I am still experimenting with different aging techniques but could use some help. I really like the way you carvin' kahunas get yours lookin' so ancient.
I have also been playing around with making masks with plam fronds. They are kinda of weird to carve with a chisel, I have used a wood burner on them but its a slow process. Anybody else carve the fronds or have suggestions? BOT has a few good shots on page 244.
