Ben and Sam, That same ole lady offered me the car for $500. Should I take it? ; )
Polynesiac, I'm going to stay away from real fire, except in my tiki torches. This wood is very dry. Though if I change my mind I'll go with Freddie F's suggestion.
Thanks all, for the compliments. I have a ways to go.

See if you can get her down to $200, I think you can resell it to Sam for the $500

This one is for my friend Fuzzy Bob who helped me out big-time getting ready for my party. Yes, he likes to fish.

Cool one of a kind tiki! He'd look neat too if you put one of those yellow fisherman hats on him and stuck a pipe in his mouth!
Uh...or not. He looks cool just the way he is.
Nice job nice fish...errrr...raffertiki!

Thanks Polynesiac. His heads too big for a hat, but the pipe could work.

Thanks Toa, 8ft, and BK. One more coat of varnish before I can deliver it. I'll let you know if he likes it.
Wow, Basement Kahuna said "nice stuff," about one of my carvings. I feel like my chisels just turned to gold.

Very nice work, Raffertiki. I really like the fish on it. There's a totem pole in downtown Wyandotte, Michigan with a fish carved in it that goes back as long as I can remember. Your tiki jogged my memory.

Sam, we don't really have anything statuesque in downtown Huntington. It mest be nice. Maybe I can sell them on a tiki pole.
Anyways, here's the fishertiki with 3 coats of Spar Varnish and some matelflake green. I dropped it off at my friends house today, but he won't be home until Tuesday to see it.
I would have loved to see his face.

Really, really, really like it.
Is it my imagination, or did that fishy turn a little green? Did you hit it with a little paint on top of the stain? Nice effect, beautiful tiki, excellent work!
