Glad you like them, Nelva. I'd hate to have to start over. 
Here's a pic of the chop tiki, which I finished on Monday, which makes it a 3 day tiki. I can't keep up the 3 hour tiki pace. 
This one was not a commission, so it's available...

Thanks LLT, BigT, and surfinT.
I get that grain on the Moais to pop with a nylon 'wire wheel' that goes on the end of a drill, and a lot of time!
Clys, logs? What logs? 
Started another tiki today, here's what I got done.
Damn, I put tools in the shot for scale, and it STILL looks small!
It's five feet tall, or long, since it's not standing.

Yesterday's tiki is now a finished tiki.
The customer wanted a second tiki to "match but not match" another tiki they were getting, one I had on hand.
Here's the two together.

Wow, the comissioned fence posts look great.
It would look great as an entry way to a tiki bar as well.
Damn, my wheels are turning again.....

Thanks, Marlene and Savage!
Here's the two poles together, being picked up by the new owner.
Here's the project I'm doing for Cheekygirl. There's two of them. I just nailed and glued this one together, and tomorrow it gets stain and a thin backing.
And here's my project for Vampiress. Hard to tell what it'll end up looking like in this shot, but hey, it's just started.
