Q2: I will post pix as soon as I lern how to post them (I´m a computor retard):D If anyone ask for me I´ll be in the test-room for three more weeks...!
Q3: Glad you ask! The answer is ASK! Have no clue what it´s called in the states, ore if you have it there.It´s very smooth and has not to many branch´s. I like it alot!

I checked out your website. You are right the tikis speak for themselves. Good Job. That last one has quite a pile of chips behind it. I'd guess it is all hand work, no powertools?

Yes, I´m goná look like Arnold when I´m done!
To bee honest I was not awere of how long it would take, to carve a tiki that size....But I sure feel stronger now!
Here´s some smaller ones. (the size is ....as a short mans arm...)

Definitely Awesome stuff Makutiki, How did you learn to carve tiki? However you learned keep on tha same trail cuz they're looking great, especially the traditional looking lono type there.
Got More?

Most of my tiki-designs are a mix of what I seen on TC. And of course The Book of Tiki.
This one is concrete.
