Welcome back! Tiki is really looking good. Your getting into some respectable depth on those features. I like the added detail on the table. Add some carved tiki chairs and your set. Can't wait to see what's next.

They look great! The tiki has some nice detail and the tiki pedestal is awesome. Nice work. Can't wait for what's next.

Looking great!
What kind of tools do you use to carve the concrete?
would love to see some 'in-process' pics...
Peace,
Jason

I use some basic chisels and some homemade tools. I have recently started using a dremel reciprocating tool with a grout removal blade. I'm going to carve some tommorrow so I'll take some in progress pics.

Here's some pics of today's carve along with pics of some of my tools. It took 4.5 hours of constant carving from layout to finish. Looks a little like something from the planet of the apes.
