I really like the posture of this one! Looks like you're getting the hang of carving hard wood.

Here's my latest. Three feet tall, carved from what I thought was Eucalyptus, but a local guy says it's not. :shrug:
It has killer grain, so I went with the Tung oil again, to highlight it.
Stealing Buzzy's thing, here's a recent sunset pic, this is near Poipu.

You made the move! Hows the weather on the other end of the state? It's been a rainy on this windward side. I love all your tikis. When you gonna do da local kine tikis though? There are a lot of varieties of eucalyptus in Hawaii & their wood varies significantly from each other also. You could be just right, although I couldn't really tell because of the stain. Enjoy your ocean sunsets & carve on with your bad self.

hang10, thanks!
nutzo, mahalos, yah, I just passed my one year moving anniversary, I'm permanent! Not going to carve the local kine tikis. Marquesans are my thing. Plus, I learned that Marquesan explorers were the first people to reach Kauai, so they are the original locals, no?
