Before you even posted this I had been pondering my recent carvings. Which ones can I call "tiki". Some, I suspect, I really shouldn't call tikis. Maybe just large masks or large carvings of funny faces. Some have monkey features, one is a cartoon. I've done Maori, New Guinea and Hawaiian style. As for me, I don't enjoy carving the same face more than once or twice, though I've done an Asian style 3 times and they always sell. I try not to box myself in. I do appreciate what you are saying BK. It's good to be challenged.
