We set the bar high with that tiki, so I had to carve up a couple basics to remember where I'm from!

Thanks Ken! Here's more of the simple ones! 
This tiki has been hanging around for weeks with the body as is, and the head just a large blank chunk'o'wood. Finally had an idea what to do with it.
Kinda different, I think I like it...not sure if the head goes with the body, but there it is!
Side shot:
It's not done yet, obviously.
I also started a Ku today.
I tried to carve as much as I could with the chainsaw, here it is before any chiseling or sanding.
Doesn't get much rougher than this!
Ringo is not impressed.
Tomorrow I'll start with the hand tools.

Good stuff all around!
Combo tiki is killer!
I'll trade you some Ash for some of that palm! My arms need a break!
Love the Ku! Best of luck with him!

I saw the Ku yesterday, looking good. I was thinking today a short video of you prepping with the chainsaw would be entertaining and helpful. The Ku would have been great one to watch you in action. Just a thought, I like your stuff and try to learn by going back in your threads to help me along the way. I believe your stuff is the easiest to learn from out of all of the other artist on here. I would bet most would agree with me too.

Just saying from a new guys perspective that tries to learn everyday. Everything is meant as a compliment in the highest regard.
