Thanks Aloha Station
Thanks Mudbone, the darker color in the tattoos comes from staining em darker.

Thanx Benz, no, Thanx a lot!!
On my first page I started by showing the first Tiki stuff I made for my bike.
And that first page ends with you showing me what a hook knife looks like.
So here I am making a better Tiki to put on my bike, using a hook knife
Here's a couple of progress pics on the valve caps. "The marq brothers".
There's still some work on them, next BIG bike meet is end of July.
So better get going.
Mahalo,
Pat

wow grapa.
cool bike and accessories. valve stem caps are awesome. the only thing that would make the bike better for me would be a small motor so i wouldn't have to pedal that often.

Hey there, miss me?
I sure missed TC and it's inhabitants.
It's been 10 months since my last post I must have missed allot of cool stuff.
Due to the ongoing crisis and people sitting on their money if they have any, the past 10 months have been about ending and closing my Kustom bicycle shop.
So now it's time for therapy, and whats better than carving to get some negative stuff out of your system.
Found a big log and decided to carve something cool for our home.
The idea for the belly hole was taken from Crazy Al and there is some more influence from his work in this guy.
Far from finished but here's were I am today.
Made my son supervisor of this project.
