Welcome to TC, Thecaravanshaker. Get yourself a palm tree log, abbage palm works well. get your chainsaw and what chisels you have. Don't worry about drying the palm log. Get a marker and draw your tiki on the log.
Stop here and take a few pictures to show later.
Start with a straight line down the center of the log and work from there. Just draw a tiki face and then cut it out with the chainsaw, just the outline.
Stop here also and take pictures. we don't want to mis any steps.
Then take your chisel and define your tiki features.
Stop and take more pic's for later
pretty soon you will have a tiki
take more pic's and ask us how to post them because we want to see them so we can help you do it right.Good luck and I can't wait to see the first pic's.
Come on now , Don't be shy. We all did it and so can you.
