Hey Surfintiki, I think they look pretty good. Is there a way to post the Full picture instead of only the thumbnail? I REALLY Love how you use the rootball for a beard, very different and neat.
Thanks for sharing.

I will be at the Cruz tiki show in Redando beach Sat the 18th with 40 tikis. Hope to see you all there. They are all palms.

They are cool, but they need a lil more work to be as cool as Benzarts or C'Al's. I like the roughed up palm bark for the beard. reminds me of some I saw out in front of Thalia St. Surf

haha..y'all make me laugh @;-)
I was paying the man a compliment on his tikis-the comment about the feet, well, that's just my weird little quirk. And for the record...I'm a dirty girl...donchaknow.
Embrace your dirtiness people. If you're doing your thang right, you should be gettin' filthy! Surfers, carvers, artists, greasers; get yer hands in it...That's my guess what surfingtiki is doing. That's why he gets my props...@;-)
Ben, rock on with your Ape Toe!

Maybe because it feels good to him? Who knows....No offense to you seriously, and without getting into a fiasco about this.... I'm just making light of the statement you made in the defense of all surfers involved within Tiki Central who do not consider themselves dirty that happen to walk around barefoot. What????? Just because he's barefoot and surfs, he's dirty? Not all surfers are dirty. I am not dirty and I am a surfer. I also walk around barefoot, but I also own shoes too.
Ask "Lake Surfer" if he's dirty, "Tiki Tony" if he's dirty, "SCtiki" if he's dirty or any of the other surfers on here. I think maybe you have some sort of pent up frustration with surfers for some reason or another to make a bold statement like that. I also think you should offer an apology to "surfintiki" for that comment unless you actually know him and can verify he's actually dirty....
Oh yeah, by the way...I love your 1958 Edsel. very cool!
Peace.

Welcome Surfingtiki! Cool tikis indeed and there is nothing wrong with having the self confidence and pride to say "coolest ever." However, there are some awesome carvers in this forum who do incredible work and are very humble about it. Many of them are good friends in this tight knit Ohana. When you say "coolest tikis ever", ya better be prepared to get some flak and have thick skin when the spears start flying. Ultimately it is the carver and/or the buyer who is going to consider what is the coolest and each one will give you a different answer to for their definiton of coolest.
Mystiki-You know I dig Jamio's work and we have said hello, but I read your post and I said WTF. I am not one to usually get into a potentialy volatile topic, but your post touches a subject that really irks me. Which is judging somebody by the way they look and the lifestyle they prefer. What if someone was to say something to the effect of "why do all those greasy goth gearhead types have to show dark and evil looking pics of themselves on their websites?" How would you take it? Your statement was uncalled for if taken out of context. (Which is easily done and happens often here on TC.) I hope you were joking around and know Surfingtiki. Otherwise I agree with TikiG, You owe the man an apology. If you don't like his feet dont look at them.
TikiG thanks for sticking up for the barefoot surfing bretheren here on TC. Keep those shoes locked in the closet whenever you can.

Chongo, I feel better now that I wasn't hung out to dry on this one.....I thought something needed to be said, and you confirmed it.
