Most, most outstanding Tiki. I love to see some original work with such a high order of craftmanship and skill. The originality is a real delicacy. The owners head on the spear is hilarious! Looking forward to your post of the finished spear and owners head....... sweeeeet.

Nice job Ray. I like everything except the teeth. I agree with Lizard, nice original work. What kind of wood?

Im too busy to do shirts right now . And the wood is Mexican Fan Palm except for the white pine teeth . The person who is paying me is into the fierce and somewhat morbid scary kind of art which can be cool too . And if he is paying me to install large sharp choppers , so be it . Its kinda like a tattoo artist does . You talk to the customer to get a feel of his personality and adapt to it .
Thanks for the compliments .

Nice stylisation Tiki-Ray! Is this based on a real example or your own invention? And did I read the above correctly - the owner wants it to hold his own skewered head..?? Classic!

Yes , he wants his own severed head mounted on a spear . And the design was a little of both meeting in the middle .
