It's amazing how different it looks after sanding, I did notice some changes. It's looking great.

McTiki Keep carving. Your layout work on that tiki looks great.
IsleConch
Start carving and show us these logs. As you show it is a good idea to keep your logs tied up, there's wild tikis inside just trying to escape.

You're right Johnny.. I did notice those logs are gettin' restless, I think they change positions at nite. That's why I put a rope around them.

Well I gotta get me some of that crack then! Speaking of crack, how does it dry out? How old is that log? Any bad checks or cracks? Or is it buying crack with bad checks? 
I got a bunch of that wood... some of it might be dry, too. I'll have to try that out this weekend...

Thistle - Welcome to TC! Thanks for the props!
Isle - Thanks again. You should start your own thread now as nobody will know who you are within mine. They'll think you are my sister or sumthin. lol. Carve already! Your poor logs are lonely for some steel affection.
Johnny P - Thanks again brah.
Gap - "I got a bunch of that wood... some of it might be dry, too." What would it take to get you to palletize about 6 ~ 8 5 footers and beam them here? I'm already jonzin for more. No checks, drys nice (in >30 % humidity)but, does crack slightly. These look kiln dried. Don't know the age as bro Tiki G brought it down from his stash.

Them tiki trees keep sproutin up all over your yard, McTiki. Good thing you decorated the property to match them. It would have looked funny if you would have made a C+W Bar out there and an eight foot KU sprouted. Good call!

That thing's lookin' good McT. I like the stacked head concept--yea, hurry up and put some stain on it, I almost had a cramp in my cornea gazing at that fresh white pine.
PS-I like your foam pumpkin template designs too! (snork, snork)
