Hello!
The big tiki is done as far as carving goes. I carved in the markings I out-lined on the tiki shown in my last update. Now there is just a couple of spots left to touch up sanding and then I get to apply the finish. I also put a loin cloth him. There has been some debate as to either a gourd or loin cloth or even let him go native. (Thanks Gman, Benzart and Jungle Trader for the jesting.) When we got back from dinner last night we found that the kids had put a skirt on him. He did not look so proud then, but it was rather humorous.

Loin cloth

Survey time. Which do you prefer?

Bete- Yes, I did make the Ku in my backyard. I’ve attached a couple more pictures of him. We stained our house this summer and I stained him as well so he looks a little different than the first pictures. I also carved all the other tikis you can see in the background.

Thanks for looking. Have a nice day!
JP
