Bete. Yeah, I wish it were summer, but there are advantages to cold weather carving the southern folks don't have, saw dust doesn't stick to your sweat and you don't get sun-burnt. Thanks for the comments about the backyard. I'll try to post some more pictures as I upload them.

Gman. This guy will be an indoors tiki, I just have to put a loincloth on him. The kids have been calling him "Naked Man!"

Congatiki. You said this is one of your favorite old time tikis: Have you been to the Mai Kai? It is an awesome place. Only 1600 short miles from here.
I will be staining and sealing this one. Maybe a touch of washed out color here and there on the face and arms. I would like the use the technique in Aaron's AKua's thread to do some antiquing of the base.

JimTandem. Thanks for the comments on the tiki. I hope he is a hit with the wahines. I have taken lots of pictures but it still doesn't work, maybe I need to take a lot more.

Thanks again,
John
