This moai looks like a perfect candidate to spit some water to become a water feature!

No the moai is a good candidate to make a shelf for my mugs! Bill, we gotta talk...I've been sketching. Hopefully, you can make it come to life!

That's why I like to get to Bill's place a little early every month.

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...

Paipo, I copied a small souvenir tiki that Buzzy gave me, that I thought was the greatest tiki I have ever seen. I want to do an even bigger version! And I plan to incorporate the economical cuts into more of my tikis.

CheekyGirl, I've been building those shelves in my mind, we'll see how my image matches your sketch!
Kate, you can come early to the chop anytime! 
I started a couple new tikis this week. Here's where I'm at. I'm not sure where I'm going with them yet, but what else is new! 
The big one is 5 feet, and the small one oddly resembles Homer Simpson in this pic.

The new one looks like it's off to a great start, lost it's homer look (which I would say is good thing, lol)
I really like the two on the previous page. I love the contrast of them with each other and their respective accents.

I like the minimalist look this one has got going. Throw away that protractor, Bill! You don't need it!
