Very funny idea, rodeotiki! I´m looking forward to see the finsh of your Tiki mailbox. Still you need a caution plate for your mailman. "Caution Savage Tiki"

Some more progress.
Worked on the eyes and tried something a little different from what I have done before.
Had my assistant give him a good soaking as it was getting pretty dry
Next will be drawing out the arms and legs.

Rodeo,
What kind of wood are you using, Red Cedar?
Your tiki looks killer, I am always watering mine to keep them from cracking also.

Thanks Gman.
Conga the kids love to be in the garage I just need to watch out for them trying to take all my tools.
Will, Its cedar , just not sure what kind.
Here its almost done , just some poly and then a new carved tiki knob for the mailbox door.
Thanks for looking. More new stuff coming soon ....
