Wow, love the finish on the wood and the super tall tikis. That is quite a feat to carve the woman. My one wooden tiki was hard enough. You certainly have the skill to do anything you want. I hope you are doing a step by step carving thread too. Cheers, Wendy

And You did Wendy! Thanks for the compliments and that step by step idea sounds like something to do. The Tikis cost money but advice is free-Stay in touch!

This Pedestal is made of a Cypress Burl. No stain. The natural, organic shapes accentuated by chiseling. Natural wood hues, teak oil finish.
Cypress wood is resistant to rot, acid, insects and mold and will last for Centuries!
