Man 4WD, your place must be Crawling with Cool Tikis, how many now a Dozen or more. Quick and Excellent, you need to get together with Buzzy and have a friendly competition to see who can make the most in a day. And Then donate the tikis to your favorite charities..ME!!

Thank you all, for the compliments and encouragement!
Here's a pic of a tiki I did last summer, and has been hanging around waiting for a new home. It found one over the weekend! The two local outrigger clubs decided to merge into one, and wanted a tiki to commemorate the occasion. They had me carve the names etc into the base. I only had about a day to do it, but it came out alright I think. Thanks to Clysdalle for lending me the V-chisel. With the tiki money, I will buy my own, I swear!
Tiki stands 6'6", and is local fan palm.

This is my tiki from the May Chop in Temecula. It's not done yet, but I like the way it looks after I burn and sand it.  I still want to put some tattoo type designs on the flat parts, and I need to cut in some teeth. But this is the most I've had to show in a week or two.

This garage pic is for you, Ben.
Hmm, seems my camera's date reset to default! I took this pic today, I swear!
Hewey, Thanks for the props! I'll try to carve more! It's funny, back when the days were short and it would be dark at 5:30, I would tell myself that I couldn't wait for the sun to set at almost 8PM, so I could carve for hours! :rolleyes:

Sunset at my house tonight: 7:39 PM. I managed to work until close to 8.
Howz them details coming?
Or did you take a nap after work?
You could always carve in the living room. The extra productivity would more than make up for the loss of the security deposit.
I like the green jade inlays on most of your tikis' heads.

I carved this one the other week, and just finished varnishing it today.
If it looks familiar, someone wanted a copy of this earlier tiki. How'd I do?
I started and finished this one today. I'm really into the primitive basic look lately.
It's related to this one from a week ago or so.

Great work 4WD....I think that the old crumbly one you did a while back (last pic) would look real choice hiding in the bushes at Babalu's Casa...maybe we can hash out a deal of some kind at the next Chop?

Aaack! Tiki Overload, Lookit all them there tikis, just standing around with their hands in their pockets(they DO have pockets don't they?), talking and probably listening to musik. How do you put up with hem all day long?
Nice work.
