ok my sister finally let me use her camera to take some pictures so im pretty happy for that. here is one that i did actually a few months ago a little bit before winter....
i still need to finish that one up. it needs some good sanding
heres a smaller one that i did a while ago too. burnt it a bit too.
i like that little guy.
here is one i did just before winter with my dremel. i just picked up some randome stone for it. my first shot at carving a rock and it turned out better than i thought it would....
and this is just a picture of most of the tikis ive made so far. so thats it for now..hope you like em

Good to see you into it bro! The style is good, go a bit deeper and spend some more time sanding, finishing etc. Try and learn something or improve with each tiki. Most important of all, HAVE FUN

Getting bigger, deeper, badder(better)! Good on you Duddy. Im certainly no expert but that biggest fella's looking pretty professional. Love the mouth/teeth.
Good to see another budding 'stoner' in our midst too!

Duddy's back in the house. Good work TD! Glad you stuck to it. I like the little Hawaiian guy, and that big guy definitely shows you are on the right track! Nice to finally see what these guys look like
Buzzy Out!

Hukulugi, your vision is damaged?, mine seem to be a little too.
I like how you like tiki and went for it, even more then the tikis themselves. The little ones are my favorite. I always wanted to do a couple as like necklaces or keychain type stuff.
I see that your a younger guy. I always consider myself to be one too among some of these salty dogs. Stick with it, even it you try something else, tiki will always be here waiting. +

Duddy, it's starting to look like my yard full o Tiki!
Nice to be able to create huh? Keep doing it! You are developing a style all your own just like many of us here. I have a great appreciation for the real deal. New design, new techniques, etc.
Love the pics.
Thinking we need to get you a camera though lol.

hey you guys thanks alot. it always feels good to have your opinions and im glad i finally got some pictures up. it was killing me inside a bit.
benz- it is always a pleasure having such a great carver like yourself put in some words and i thank you for that. i still need to get some more done yet but....its cold.
pdrake- thanks again to you too. i really need to sand this guy up. and yes i should of given a little bit of a smile haha. a while after carving during the winter the big guy started cracking like MAD. there is one that goes deep from top to bottom. i still like him the best though.
hewey- thans you. i still do need to go a bit deeper yes but it was my first time using a chainsaw on a piece so i just wanted to test it out. this was actually the first piece where i had drawn it out too.
tama- yes the big guy is my best work so far i think. its also my favorite. i kept saying to myself "if this turns out....YES" and it did work out like i wanted. a few minor glitches but i fixed them up. thanks
benella- thank you. ive been looking at your work too and i really like it.
buzzy- YEAA. thanks man. really appreciate it. it makes me feel sooo much better that i can actually put something on this site again. during the past few months i had been feeling a little depressed cause of that. you see this (besides my family and a few friends) is the only place that i share my tikis with. you know how kids at school can be about new things. so i keep it to the site here and thats good enough for me. thanks
hakalugi- yes yes my old pictures were TERRIBLE. it was the best that i could do with a camera phone hahaha.
teaKEY- thank you aswell. i actually never thought of it as my own style but i guess it is kind of. i like that idea. but i give sooo much credit to everyone on this great site. they have helped me greatly.
mctiki- it fells GREAT to create some kind of art. after you are done a project you just think "i created this?" and it feels amazing.
thanks to you all agian it means alot to have everyone comment on something that i just picked up one day. i have supprised myself how far i have come with this even though i am just a newbie.
thank you all

Hey Duddy, That's a nice collection you're getting. I too also see a style developing . It's difficult for the carver himself to see sometimes, but you do have one. Forget about the kids at school! Carve yourself silly!
