Conga , I could never ditch my tools. Thanks for the props guys. The skull started out as a smaller tiki but I cut a little to much and bam, half of it was gone. So I walked away for a bit , read tikimagazine and saw Crazy Als tiki from the Lucky tiki. Went back out and redid it.
More updates tomorrow.

I love seeing pictures of northern tiki carver's tikis for sale in stores. Keep it going and they look great sitting there.

Thank you very much for the kind words they are a bright spot on the dark days. I have been dealing a lot as of late and haven't been carving much. Things are getting on the right track and hopefully will be full steam ahead soon.
Small update from todays first time back in the garage in weeks...

Rodeo,
Welcome back. Did you get a carving bar yet? Your latest tiki looks like you might of used one. I love the way the tikis hands are holding the skull.
Be Safe,
Will
