Hi, here is the update on my version of the Mai-Kai tiki. The wood is elm and is somewhat spalted. It is still good, but every once in while there is a softer spot. I don’t think the log would have made it one more summer. It was a balmy 30 degrees today and no sun as usual in Michigan! Perfect tiki weather, Here is me working on it. Thanks BK for the insight in to the clubs. I was wondering about the significance of the shape. I did not know if it had anything to do with its use as a weapon or if it was just symbolic in nature. Yes this one’s inspiration was the tiki facing into the bar area. Your club work is exquisite so I appreciate your comments. AA . I’ll tell the story. It’s not too exciting but I’ll upload a few pictures that my help with the context in the next couple of days. I only have dial up and it takes forever to load pictures. Gman- I’m looking forward to seeing your update! Thanks again, JP |
