Is this my carving thread? Should it only be for carving stuff? Let me think about this for a second while I decide whether or not to keep making all kinds of new threads in "creating tiki- other crafts", or just throw everything I do in one place, right here, home sweet home.

Reason I ask is this:

A couple weeks back, I was talking about a movie set i was working on. This picture is from the production company of the work that we did for "Skid Marks." It doesn't look like Vietnam to me, but it doesn't look like Lewis Middle School softball field either. If you live in SD, look out for a big yellow sign that says "skid" with an arrow when you are driving around. Follow the arrow to the nearest school or park, and you will probably find them filming. I saw one up Claremont DR earlier today. You'd be surprised who you meet hanging around a movie set...Just look like you belong there.

That wasn't about carving, but if I was not a carver, this opportunity never would have come my way. So then, if I am a carver by definition(I currently play this role in the whole tiki universe dynamic,) then by extension, everything I do should be applicable here.

Either way, I'm going to post away. You guys, both my loyal readers that is, are the ones who this actually affects, so let me know.

Right now I have something that has to do with carving that I will share with you. It's not actually carving, but I think it fits here best, on my carving thread

People collect different things. Even the slightest reference to tiki will create the corollary of its value to some collector, somewhere. If you collect stuff like this, let me know and I'll give it to you after I am done. Read on...

Here is a blueprint for a hole at a miniature golf course that is set to be constructed soon:

here is a detail

I like the way the architect drew out the Tiki example

Anyway, this course will be made, this hole will be built, and four tikis will be carved for it. If you collect tiki stuff like this, then here is your opportunity to get the original blueprints that I used on this project, along with any and all other letters of correspondence about this project. If none of you guys out there want all this stuff when I'm done, I'm going to give it to a guy I know named Juan, the trash collector. He collects everything...
