thank you Benz.
when you gave me that piece I went home thinking to myself "wow....I gotta do something special with that one."
thanks again....and you were right, it carves super nice...
so anyway, there's a local exotica group here called the "stolen idols" and they're all about the tikis, and they asked me to come to one of their shows and bring some pieces...
so here's a shot from their gig Saturday at the Palladium Side Door in downtown St Pete....you can see a couple off my tikis at the front of the stage...

speaking of the fir trader,
I'm back to his headdress...trying to tie the whole thing together....as you can see in the first pic, the front/right post is kinda rough, and the one on the left is a little more "cleaned up" and flows a little better.

so, it's a rainy day & I'm working on the fir trader out on the front porch enjoying the storm. But instead of posting the micro-progress of a piece I've shown you 20 times already, I'd like to share some other people's stuff that I'm stoked on and inspired by...
first off, today I received a package from the LAND DOWN UNDA!!!
Where women GLOW and me PLUNDA!!!
Campbell, thanks brother... I will wear it with pride..
Next up is a piece of PURE AWESOMENESS....this is a surfboard shaped by Jed Noll (yes, the son of legendary big wave surfer GREG "da bull" Noll) and painted by Rich Reitveld. I think this may be the coolest damned thing I've ever seen...
and last but not least, this is a picture of a tiki my buddy Karloz in Belgium has been carving out of oak. I have told him on several occasions that he needs to join up and be a part of our discussion, and he actually slipped and told me he didn't think his stuff was good enough, which is complete and utter horse shit. Despite not having his permission I am posting this up because I think it's his best tiki so far. He obviously one of us and belongs here. Don't you agree?

ok, clearing bikes out today!
first off, a 65 Western Flyer I traded some tiki stuff for & restored for a friend of mine....done in sparkly candy apple red metalflake...
a bike I picked up & had done for my mom, 72 Raleigh sport 3 spd...
and one that I'm getting together for a nice girl I know who lost her drivers license and needs a waty to get around. also a 72 Raleigh 3 spd, this one's a "colt"...
I like old bikes. Now back to your regularly scheduled program....I'll post some tiki update pics later...
