Here is a Honu I carved, but I had not photographed/posted it yet as it is not "tiki".

That symbol is an icon of the tropical pacific. Check out the old tiki bar pictures and there are many sea turtle shell, carvings, items made from the shell, ect used as decoration in the background (albeit from a less environmentally and ecologically aware era). Many travel advertisments for Hawai'i depict them. How could it not fit "tiki"?

Great job on it and the hammer-head! Very graceful. Now get some sleep-after you get home from work.
