Thanks McTiki .... a bit more rough stuff yesterday before I dropped him too hard onto the horse and busted the shit out of it! Guess I'll be rebuilding that thing this morning!
Thanks for stopping and Have a Great Day!

I scored an order for two tikis so have put the Ku on hold for a few days. I dug out a fresh(er) log and cleaned them up with the drawknife and then drew on the faces ... then after passing inspection by my little helper jumped into the 1st one this morning. After carving those old, dry logs the last few tikis, this one slices like butter!
Should be able to have these done by the end of the week and then back to the Ku!
Thanks for stopping and Have a Great Day!

Finished these two customer tikis and got to chop a bit more on the Ku .... There's a little light showing now!
It's going to be a new challenge for me to get down in behind the headdress and sculpture the butt and heels ... that's a tight fit!
Thanks for stopping and Have a Great Day!
