Work's been slow, so I've had time to carve this week. These are just in various roughed out stages.
The bigger two are about 3 feet tall.

Thank you all for the kind words.
I finished two of the tikis from the last pic. Here they are.
And for anyone that will be coming to the chop this Saturday, that wall'o'weeds behind the tikis is the backyard we'll be carving in! I need to break out the weedwacker before then.

Love that Bora Bora guy! (the other one is no slouch either)
Some of the simpler Tahitian and Marquesan souvenirs are also my favourites because of the economical way they're carved. It's kinda neat to see the style elevated to a full-size specimen. Sometimes less is more...

Doing some nice work there 4WD. I like the minimalist look of the
one on the left..and your finish and detail work really make the
other one "pop." Good stuff.
