Wes, Nice carvings! everyone integrates styles from other tikis; it's inevitable. everyone inspires everyone else. we copy the ancient carvers, and as a newbie carver, i try to emulate the masters. eventually you'll have your own style. it's not like you are intentionally copying someone's trademark style and selling them.
