Started this tall and skinny tiki today, all chainsaw so far.
Usually with a log this length and diameter, I would cut it in half and make two small tikis, but I thought I'd try and see what an elongated one would look like.
Update tomorrow!

Very nice, Bill! Just catching up on your excellent work again... So last Sunday I picked up a primo fan palm log from Andy that he said came from you. Funny how these things get around!!

That came out really well. I was kinda doubtful at first but you really pulled that off. Exceptional use of space.

Good eye Seek.
Note to self: Skinnier I get, the more profound my length and thickness.
Ha!
How many tikis you gonna carve at the lagoon this time Bill?
