Nah man, you're no grommet, you're a freaking rock star! That bugger is tops. No need to find a balance; just carve more.

YEAH! That rocks!
I love the relief design on the front of the headdress. Impressive.
I know what ya mean on having so many designs in your head, there's just so many possibilities.
I think the surf gods have noticed, waves should be coming your way!

Howdy all, another surftiki is done. I stained the hole body and headdress one
color, but didn't like it, so I spent a few days sanding like a mad man.
Pic of The Tiki Bog at the coast its a wetland and there is cranberry bogs
all around us. This is where my tiki's will stand in the summer.
No stringer sufintiki the board is not strait enough it would have really
shown the board lopsided.
I really wanted to cut into the headdress and get that notched look, but i could
not picture it working?

Absolutely great work SeekSurf. I love the colors, the headdress
carving is very cool, and the mouth has tons of personality.
Very nice.

True words from the KOOK Carver! The joy IS in the Struggle, the having to work it out builds confidence and a deeper knowledge of the way carving tools work and can be used.
