Hi, my name is Jeff, I live in Tampa Florida, and I like to make tikis.
I mostly post over at the tiki carving section but I found this section and figured I'd throw a few up here since it looks like there are different people that post over here.
Mahalo!

Fantastic work, Jeff! I'd love a few pieces of yours for my backyard! Too bad Florida is pretty far away from New Jersey.

hey guys, thanks for the kind words...
I use everything from a chainsaw to small chisels...
and here are a few recent pieces...
a ku I did out of cypress with black glass eye inlays...
pineapple head....
a neat wormhole-y cedar mask that was purchased by a nice girl in Connecticut...
a little washingtonian palm lono I made after a trip south to spend some time with Benz, Will and Aloha Tom...
the "big kanaloa" all stained & finished...
