Thanks limptiki...Ku is now on his way to you...keep an eye on your mailbox in around a week. I'm happy for people to have some input, as tikis are very personal pieces.

McTiki...you sound like Yoda: "Much mana has this tiki, young carver" - are you from the Dagobah system perchance? :)

Benz....whoah! I told you not to drink that green rum - now look what you've gone and done....or maybe it was the green stone? I have met a few people round these parts who have fallen under its spell, and they have never been the same again! Let this serve as a warning to the rest of you....if it's not too late!
If you do want in on "the list", which is still in its infancy, you're most welcome - as is anyone else. I don't like to blatantly plug my stuff, but if you order a tiki, it's one less "bread and butter" piece I have to make to pay my bills, and we all know the world could use more tikis....
As a rough guideline, I presently have about 3 or 4 weeks of work on backorder. I can probably still get pieces made in time for Christmas if needed...

Thanks for the feedback on the regular gig hewey, to me it's kinda boring sometimes, but at least it's my boring stuff...I used to carve much worse things when I was a commercial lapidary.

Check it out...

His work is nice enough, but there is very little detailed information and not a single pic on his entire "how-to" page.
