Well, he got a body, a face, and a good smoothing with the angle grinder yesterday. All that's left is a bunch of hammer & chisel, which I'll save for sunday so I'm not bored out of my skull at the art show. Between now & then I need to try to bust out a few little $75- $100 tikis so maybe I can leave the show with a little cash.

here's what I started today. "The Chubby Marquesian". Doing an art show that is being put on by Quicksilver at the international plaza mall this weekend. This is what I'll be working on while I'm there. Hopefully the quicksilver shop will buy it.

...so it has been exactly 2 years ago this week that I started carving tikis. I feel very lucky to have discovered this hobby / lifestyle / whatever-you-want-to-call-it, and would like to thank everyone here who answered my questions & helped me stay stoked. Benz, 4wd Bill, McTiki, Seeksurf, Chimp, Amate, Nixxon, and all the other guys who have encouraged me along the way. Many Mahalos brothers. I appreciate this place more than you know.

PJC,
WOW, that went fast, and your work inspires me and I hope to be able to complete something as cool as some of your work soon.
Here's to a lifetime of tiki and tiki-carving!!
Aloha

Thanks guys. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the talent here. Every time someone starts telling I'm great or "the best", I just say to them "I'm a total novice compared to some of the guys that I interact with on-line. You have NO IDEA how good their stuff is." It's good not to let oneself get a big head, and I am humbled by the work I see here on a regular basis.
Off to have a few cold ones, and then hopefully put a face on "the chubster". You guys have a nice Sunday...

well, this one's close to done. I left the hand part big and blank so he could be holding something cool like a fish or something...just can't decide exactly what...
So I guess I'll start something else until I can make a decision. I'm thinking I'm doing another tall one next.
