pjc - The first one did not turn out exactly how I intended so I started the new one. It is a lot closer to what I was trying for.
Big T. There's always Moody Gardens in Galveston. I heard they revamped the rainforest shortly after hurricane Ike. and also have an educational Kon-Tiki exhibit. I've got to get down there.
Mac - Thanks a lot man. We've had some good carving weather here and I've been trying to take advantage.
Surfintiki - thanks for looking in and you compliments are much appreciated.

Big T. As I recall, you have lots of cool stuff...both tiki and non-tiki. Those mugs are a great addition to your collection. I also need to correct some misinformation. I checked the website and it is not a Kon-tiki "exhibit". The beach area (closed for the season) has a Kon-tiki "theme".

Another winner! As mentioned previous... the headdress is something special! One of a kind for sure.
This guy is got attitude... a sneer and a slouch!
Really nice finish overall also and a great color!
Keep up the great carves!

Thanks guys. I'm going to play around with some variations on the headdress. You guys will probably get bored with them before I do. The weather is mild here this week and I've got too many projects in WIP. Gotta get back to it.
