Well, when my parents came 'round & saw the tiki bar, my dad apparently took a shine to tiki design & went to work with his dremel. Here's two of the first...
He's made a few more since these but I haven't gotten around to picking them up, but I'll post pics when I get my hands on 'em.
Oh, and the bottom one he made in two sizes - 2' high and 6" high.

Good on you Twitchs' Dad! - Is he hooked up to the net? You should tell him to have a bit of a browse around here for designs...

Here's a 6 ft. hairball I coughed up for you Benzart.
Come see it before it gets swept up, at Minnie's.

Twitch: Get your dad a chainsaw and some big logs and stand by with the camera.. I can't wait.
Digger, Beautiful Hairball. Looks like a big water main got wrapped up in the roots. The tiki is a Typical Ultra clean detailed piece, Excellent work as usual. "Coughed up" for me? You shouldn't have, Do you still have my address?

After browsing the forum posts here and seeing all the awesome craftsmanship I decided to give it a go. Here is my humble first attempt at carving. The wood is a closet dowel, probably oak, that I had laying around in the garage. Most of the work was done using my little Spyderco along with files and xacto blades. I'm still working on this piece and I'm not too crazy about the eyes. My goal is to get proficient enough to carve up some larger pieces for around my pool. Any constructive critiquing is appreciated

Moondog, Really Excellent work. It really shows that you took your time and patience with this one. What kind of wood is it? Awesome!!

AND YET MORE...
STILL not sure if this is the best place to post this..this is a cane I carved while doing the big guy above--pretty much been working the wood (EUUGH--sounds weird) of this piece since February...finally just knuckled down and completed it this weekend... I recall someone on here needing a cane at one time... that was a WHILE ago. This is some anonymous piece of mountain wood my son found...it lay around the garage for YEARs before I brought out its TRUE IDENTITY
At least I know BENZART will see this

More nice stuff Moondog. You can post your pictures in this thread but it looks like you have enough to start your own thread. If you are going to continue posting more carvings I suggest starting your own thread and just adding to it when you have more posts. That way it's all together and we (or you) can view all your stuff on the same thread. Thanks.
