This tiki is carved out of coconut and stained in a jarrah coloured stain.
Octane - Yeah the 48 is the one with the cool opener on the hood. Shes a beaut! I miss her and cant wait to get her home - Thanks for the kind words about my stuff.
GMAN - The big guy was hand carved - ie chisel and mallot out of Australian Gum tree and it took me more than 200 hours - but I lose track of the time when I get into one this size it is such a labour of love.

I am heading over to Fiji next month and would like to meet up with some carvers over there - does anyone know any Fijian nationals that are into carving? Or can you point me in the right direction to get in touch with someone over there. Thanks
