Here's the two together.
The big guy is about 5'7".
I hope to make good progress on one or both at the chop this Saturday!
Note that I mowed the weeds!

Wow! The tikis look great, but I'm super impressed with the yard. (I think mine is going to be taller than me sometime in the next few days.)

Well, it's Sunday, so it must be time for my update!
I made zero progress on any tikis at the chop at my house last week.
I spent the whole day talking and eating.
So I started this one last Sunday, and came close to finishing it up today. I still want to sand it a little more, and stain it golden oak.

Hey 4WDTIKI! Love your work man! Lotta range and scope in your carvings. You mention selling your work in quite a few post. I want to carve fulltime like it seems you do. Are you doing it fulltime and making a living at this or is it part time deal? One of things I have noticed about this site is no one really talks about price when it comes to selling their work. Any chance you could clue me in on values of your past and present work? I am trying to judge what I could expect to get from my work as I get better. Is there a section on this site to sell your work? Any help in this area would be much appreciated---Tucson Tikl

Sunday Update!
I finished up the tiki on the left today, which I started a couple days ago. The little Moai guy I carved months ago, but only today stained and burned.
Look for these guys at my booth at the Parking Lot Sale!
I started this guy yesterday.

Hey TT!
I WISH I carved fulltime, but the reality is, I have a real fulltime job, and carve tikis for Fun and Profit!
If you want to know the prices of any of my tikis, just PM me.
The Marketplace forum is the section of Tiki Central where stuff gets sold, but I don't post anything there, since my tikis are too big (heavy) to try to sell anywhere but locally.
Keep on carvin', and post up yer work!

Sunday update.
I finally finished this one. It's been hanging around half carved for months, while I tried to figure out what to do with it.
Plus I got this one stained and burned, but I don't think I'm done with it.

Well, the above tiki WAS done after all, I ran out of time before the TF parking lot sale, so I took him as is, and he now lives in Pasedena!
I scrambled all week to get as many tikis completed as I could, here's most of them.
This girl will be residing in Vegas soon.
Full frontal
Here's our booth at the Tiki Farm parking lot sale. My wife makes the vintage fabric bikinis, halters, pillows, purses, etc. Someday, maybe she'll start a thread of her work.
Here she's twisting up a Ti leaf Lei.
