Big tiki Scott, we must be on the same Island.
I started my first full body with a headress also.
He's not purrrrrfect, but sure a step up from my others.
Here he is about 4' tall

Back in action! Right on Closettiki! Looks like you might be able to cover thatnice lawn up with a big pile of logs. Without all the maintenance on it, you'd have a lot more time for carving, .
Buzzy out!

Wow, you guys are knocking out some sweet art. I really need to update and get some pics of the little guy but was busy in the woods, getting firewood and some big logs for some big carvings.
The big one is lodgepole pine and I got some douglas fir as well. The upright lodgepole log is 6'tall and has to weigh over 400 pounds.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the compliments--we love the yard too! The wood George used in the yard is Australian Cypress (Callitris), that is somewhat common here.
Benzart--would love to get together. I am starting to carve hypertufa pendants and small statues and would appreciate getting insight from you--your art is so beautiful. We have plenty of rum on hand--let me know!!

Big Tiki Scott, your latest tiki is off-the-hook! Love the head dress!
And Vero, loving the work and am especially interested in the decorative poles that your blue deck cover is attached to. I'd like to see a close-up of one of those.
