Thank you!
I find that Tikiroom.com is highly cool, as are the people, and I highly intend to peruse it thoroughly as a habit.

Indeed this genuinely IS a form of sweet madness, isn't it?

"Tiki-Madness!" lol!

The ones that I started with are small, about 6 inches.
I admit, I have absolutely NO clue what I'm doing, but I am having fun learning and creating. I have never done any sort of woodcarving at all, and I feel this is a real calling. (regardless if my Tiki suck, at least I'll have a blast making them)
That's what it's all about for me these days. :)

This weekend I will embark on my attempt at a larger sizes, around 12 to 14 inches.

My only problem at present is learning where to find good wood.

Any recommendations?
Tips?
Advice?

My goal is, within a year, to work my way up to 4 footers or more, and more and more!
Muhahahaha!

(I had a dream of making a giant 20 ft. Tiki. I have a feeling that for better or for worse, it will happen.

The best part about all of this insanity?
I get to freak out my neighbors by putting them in the garden in my front yard.
