thanks for the comps on King Uke-A-Hana. It might be a while before I post anything new, since King Uke-A-Hana was seen by a few local natives around here, it looks like I will be carving up Ukuleles and grass skirts for my next couple of projects or so. Thanks for droppin in.

Sometimes when it rains it pours. It's raining Ukulele's & Grass Skirts in my backyard. Since making one Ukulele tiki with a grass skirt there have been a rash of local natives in my area wanting one. This is number 3 with one more to go. It isn't exactly new but the head and base are. Stain to come.
Mahalo to those passing by.

Watango, thanks man. I have wanted to do one with a drum because I play percussion, but my guitar playing buds keep twisting my arm for the Ukulele tiki. Maybe after New Years I can get to making one with a drum. Hope your trip to the Big Island is one filled with much amazing coolness.
Tom, thanks a whole heap man! I hear ya on carving deeper especially in the upper body area of this one. I really appreciate your critique because it helps me to refine and improve my carving. It also helps to see those pics of those awesome Pepper Grinders and other amazing peices your doing to help me see where I need to improve on representing the features of tiki anatomy.
Jon, Thanks for you comps and stopping by all the way from the Cali

Your work is fantastic. I like all of them. Each has some crisp detail. The guy with the ukelele is my favorite.

I haven't had time to carve but I have been working on a few projects that involve tiki in the design.
Here is a T-shirt design I did company in Hawaii.
