That Maori swirled piece is dynamic Marcus. Can you give a little more time in it's development/ photography?
Inspirational as would be any post from you sir.

Hello all,
I am working on a very exciting project for a bar, sworn to secrecy so cant share photos at the moment...but I will as soon as I can.
I will be heading back over to Hawaii in July to do a little project and catch up with all my friends over there. I arrive on 17 July until 1 August. Get back to me if you want to join me for cocktail hour in Waikiki.
Will be hanging at the antique and collectibles fair on the 22nd and 23rd July.
Okay I going to sign off and get some carving done. Cheers to all

I have not posted anything for a long time but I am gazing frequently at all the new stuff that is going on here and getting lost in the depth of tiki central. I enjoy your combination of traditional tiki carving and the hotrod/monster/voodoo/rockabilly ideas you realize. This is huge.

Here are a few pics from my big project that has kept me busy for the last few months. I was approached by a Hotel who wanted Tiki Beat to design (from Tiki mugs right down to the menus, swizzle sticks and keychains...and much much more), carve and label their renovation, great compliment, bigger job than I could have imagined at the time but I took it on and here are some of my carvings in the progress...watch this space as the "Tiki Beat" bar takes shape. So apologies for my lack of contact on here but its been hectic. I wish I had some of my mates in the States closer by so they could share some of the load of the carvings. Oceanic Arts are of course helping me out with the props.
Three more months of carving and I must share with you that I am not a big fan of carving posts, too shallow for me I love more depth and three dimensional have to stop myself going to deep. More bigs tikis start soon yeah!
