Tiki5-0: I have been waiting for a long time to see this one too. Cannot wait! Merely hours away...

In the meantime, I took a break from sanding and made these stickers for another tiki

Then I put them on the tiki

This tiki will be used in a kindergarten class to teach the "T" sound

I was going to carve all this stuff in, but then it was decided that after this was done in the classroom, the words would not make much sense, so they would be made as a temporary feature

If you think it is cool that I am doing this for the youth of today, I want to clear something up: I am not doing this for the youth of today. I am doing this for the tiki customers of tomorrow. It's kind of like big companies "branding" the consumer early on in life. Like those candy cigarettes...Except, that I am branding tiki to these youngsters. Hopefully they will grow up and want to buy a tiki, because it will remind them of when they were young and carefree. Hopefully, I'll still be there to sell them one. Carvers should stick around for about 15-20 years until these kids head out and start buying tikis, there will be several hundred tiki fans in and around the San Marcos area wanting a tiki. As a producer of these fine products, I cannot wait...
