Here's an interim update.

Ku is coming along slowly, still in the "tin soldier" stage at the moment. If Rodeo is, as he says, "the slowest carver on TC", I'm a very close second. And I have to totally agree with what Mr. Dale recently said on Rodeo's post about keeping a balance with carving, family, business, etc. Maybe that's why tiki is so appealing as an escape. We can only dream of living on the beach, carving all day, no job responsibilities. Unless I win the Lotto of course! Till then it's all daydreaming... :)

I got a little carried away with the chainsaw in the beginning. After I get his feet carved, I will bolt on a pedestal base to give it some stability and balance between the top and bottom.

Some new cracks made me decide to give him a good soaking once a week whether he needs it or not. Not very dignified for the Mighty Warrior God Ku, but I'm sure he'll thank me later...

**Cheers!
